Prevent running pg_basebackup as root
Similarly to pg_upgrade, pg_ctl and initdb, a root user is able to use --version and --help, but cannot execute the actual operation to avoid the creation of files with permissions incompatible with the postmaster. This is a behavior change, so not back-patching is done. Author: Ian Barwick Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CABvVfJVqOdD2neLkYdygdOHvbWz_5K_iWiqY+psMfA=FeAa3qQ@mail.gmail.com
