Michael Paquier 5c649fe153 Extend the options of pg_basebackup to control compression
The option --compress is extended to accept a compression method and an
optional compression level, as of the grammar METHOD[:LEVEL].  The
methods currently support are "none" and "gzip", for client-side
compression.  Any of those methods use only an integer value for the
compression level, but any method implemented in the future could use
more specific keywords if necessary.

This commit keeps the logic backward-compatible.  Hence, the following
compatibility rules apply for the new format of the option --compress:
* -z/--gzip is a synonym of --compress=gzip.
* --compress=NUM implies:
** --compress=none if NUM = 0.
** --compress=gzip:NUM if NUM > 0.

Note that there are also plans to extend more this grammar with
server-side compression.

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.
