    Fix backup manifests to generate correct WAL-Ranges across timelines · 65b649fe
    Michael Paquier authored
    In a backup manifest, WAL-Ranges stores the range of WAL that is
    required for the backup to be valid.  pg_verifybackup would then
    internally use pg_waldump for the checks based on this data.
    
    When the timeline where the backup started was more than 1 with a
    history file looked at for the manifest data generation, the calculation
    of the WAL range for the first timeline to check was incorrect.  The
    previous logic used as start LSN the start position of the first
    timeline, but it needs to use the start LSN of the backup.  This would
    cause failures with pg_verifybackup, or any tools making use of the
    backup manifests.
    
    This commit adds a test based on a logic using a self-promoted node,
    making it rather cheap.
