Alex Tomic 72dd3d1f5c Postgresql Incremental Backup and Restore
Full and incremental backup and restore strategy for postgres
based on pg_basebackup and WAL shipping.

Full backups are effectively data directory filesystem snapshots
aided by the use of the pg_basebackup tool. Incremental backups
are performed by creating recovery points and backing up the
appropriate WAL files since the previous backup. Restore is
done by recreating the data directory based on a pg_basebackup
snapshot and copying the needed WAL files for
incremental recovery.

A new scenario test group for incremental backups was also added.
(Note that parts of the new test have already been refactored in:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/324060 )
