Make pg_basebackup ask the server to estimate the total backup size, by default.
This commit changes pg_basebackup so that it specifies PROGRESS option in
BASE_BACKUP replication command whether --progress is specified or not.
This causes the server to estimate the total backup size and report it in
pg_stat_progress_basebackup.backup_total, by default. This is reasonable
default because the time required for the estimation would not be so large
in most cases.
Also this commit adds new option --no-estimate-size to pg_basebackup.
This option prevents the server from the estimation, and so is useful to
avoid such estimation time if it's too long.
