It was apparently entirely undocumented that the tablespace size
estimates sent by the base backup protocol are in kilobytes. Here is a
patch to document that. Also, a related clarification in the
pg_basebackup.c source code: It was not clear without analyzing the
whole stack that "totalsize" is in kilobytes and "totaldone" is in bytes.
