Makes it easier to parse mainly the BASE_BACKUP command
with it's options, and avoids having to manually deal
with quoted identifiers in the label (previously broken),
and makes it easier to add new commands and options in
the future.
In passing, refactor the case statement in the walsender
to put each command in it's own function.
When the exit waits until the whole backup completes, it may take
a very long time.
In passing, add back an error check in the main loop so we detect
clients that disconnect much earlier if the backup is large.
Some versions of gcc complain about "variable `tablespaces' might be
clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'" with the original coding. Fix by
moving the PG_TRY block into a separate subroutine.
Add BASE_BACKUP command to walsender, allowing it to stream a
base backup to the client (in tar format). The syntax is still
far from ideal, that will be fixed in the switch to use a proper
grammar for walsender.
No client included yet, will come as a separate commit.
