Tom Lane a414eb850d Clean up error handling in pg_basebackup's walmethods.c.
The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally
bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is
safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as
to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno.
Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things
completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors.

To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or
TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases
that don't set errno.  (The tar methods already had a version of this,
but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a
constant error string.)  Make the dir and tar methods handle errors
in basically identical ways, which they didn't before.

This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places,
which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of
ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not
to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored
errno but neglected to.

In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary
local variables.

There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from
fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch.

While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for
old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced.

Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
