Rebased. I had intended to try to get this into v17, but a couple of
unresolved problems came up while rebasing over the new incremental
backup stuff. You snooze, you lose. Hopefully we can sort these out
in time for the next commitfest:
* should pg_combinebasebackup read the control file to fetch the segment size?
* hunt for other segment-size related problems that may be lurking in
new incremental backup stuff
* basebackup_incremental.c wants to use memory in proportion to
segment size, which looks like a problem, and I wrote about that in a
new thread[1]
