    Expose waitforarchive option through pg_stop_backup() · 017e4f25
    Stephen Frost authored
    Internally, we have supported the option to either wait for all of the
    WAL associated with a backup to be archived, or to return immediately.
    This option is useful to users of pg_stop_backup() as well, when they
    are reading the stop backup record position and checking that the WAL
    they need has been archived independently.
    
    This patch adds an additional, optional, argument to pg_stop_backup()
    which allows the user to indicate if they wish to wait for the WAL to be
    archived or not.  The default matches current behavior, which is to
    wait.
