Exclude additional directories in pg_basebackup The list of files and directories that pg_basebackup excludes from the backup was somewhat incomplete and unorganized. Change that with having the exclusion driven from tables. Clean up some code around it. Also document the exclusions in more detail so that users of pg_start_backup can make use of it as well.
The contents of these directories are now excluded from the backup: pg_dynshmem, pg_notify, pg_serial, pg_snapshots, pg_subtrans Also fix a bug that a pg_repl_slot or pg_stat_tmp being a symlink would cause a corrupt tar header to be created. Now such symlinks are included in the backup as empty directories. Bug found by Ashutosh Sharma <[email protected]>.
