Robert Haas 0ad8032910 Server-side gzip compression. ... pg_basebackup's --compression option now lets you write either "client-gzip" or "server-gzip" instead of just "gzip" to specify where the compression should be performed. If you write simply "gzip" it's taken to mean "client-gzip" unless you also use --target, in which case it is interpreted to mean "server-gzip", because that's the only thing that makes any sense in that case. To make this work, the BASE_BACKUP command now takes new COMPRESSION and COMPRESSION_LEVEL options. At present, pg_basebackup cannot decompress .gz files, so server-side compression will cause a failure if (1) -Ft is not used or (2) -R is used or (3) -D- is used without --no-manifest. Along the way, I removed the information message added by commit 5c649fe153 which occurred if you specified no compression level and told you that the default level had been used instead. That seemed like more output than most people would want. Also along the way, this adds a check to the server for unrecognized base backup options. This repairs a bug introduced by commit 0ba281cb4b. This commit also adds some new test cases for pg_verifybackup. They take a server-side backup with and without compression, and then extract the backup if we have the OS facilities available to do so, and then run pg_verifybackup on the extracted directory. That is a good test of the functionality added by this commit and also improves test coverage for the backup target patch (commit 3500ccc39b) and for pg_verifybackup itself. Patch by me, with a bug fix by Jeevan Ladhe. The patch set of which this is a part has also had review and/or testing from Tushar Ahuja, Suraj Kharage, Dipesh Pandit, and Mark Dilger.
