The macOS Finder application creates .DS_Store files in directories
when opened, which creates problems for serverside utilities which
expect all files to be PostgreSQL specific files. Skip these files
when encountered in pg_checksums, pg_rewind and pg_basebackup.
This was extracted from a larger patchset for skipping hidden files
and system files, where the concencus was to just skip these. Since
this is equally likely to happen in every version, backpatch to all
supported versions.

Backpatch-through: v12
We read blocks of data from files that we're backing up in chunks,
some multiple of BLCKSZ for each read. If checksum verification fails,
we then try rereading just the one block for which validation failed.
If that block happened to be the first block of the chunk, and if
the file was concurrently truncated to remove that block, then we'd
reach a call to bbsink_archive_contents() with a buffer length of 0.
That causes an assertion failure.
As far as I can see, there are no particularly bad consequences if
this happens in a non-assert build, and it's pretty unlikely to happen
in the first place because it requires a series of somewhat unlikely
things to happen in very quick succession. However, assertion failures
are bad, so rearrange the code to avoid that possibility.

If sendFileWithContent were used to send a file larger than the
bbsink buffer size, this would result in corruption. The only
files that are sent via sendFileWithContent are the backup label
file, the tablespace map file, and .done files for WAL segments
included in the backup. Of these, it seems that only the
tablespace_map file can become large enough to cause a problem,
and then only if you have a lot of tablespaces. If you do have
that situation, you might end up with a corrupted
tablespace_map file, which would be bad.
My commit bef47ff85d introduced
this problem.

PG_COMPRESSION_OPTION_LEVEL is removed from the compression
specification logic, and instead the compression level is always
assigned with each library's default if nothing is directly given. This
centralizes the checks on the compression methods supported by a given
build, and always assigns a default compression level when parsing a
compression specification. This results in complaining at an earlier
stage than previously if a build supports a compression method or not,
aka when parsing a specification in the backend or the frontend, and not
when processing it. zstd, lz4 and zlib are able to handle in their
respective routines setting up the compression level the case of a
default value, hence the backend or frontend code (pg_receivewal or
pg_basebackup) has now no need to know what the default compression
level should be if nothing is specified: the logic is now done so as the
specification parsing assigns it. It can also be enforced by passing
down a "level" set to the default value, that the backend will accept
(the replication protocol is for example able to handle a command like
BASE_BACKUP (COMPRESSION_DETAIL 'gzip:level=-1')).
This code simplification fixes an issue with pg_basebackup --gzip
introduced by ffd5365, where the tarball of the streamed WAL segments
would be created as of pg_wal.tar.gz with uncompressed contents, while
the intention is to compress the segments with gzip at a default level.
The origin of the confusion comes from the handling of the default
compression level of gzip (-1 or Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION) and the value of
0 was getting assigned, which is what walmethods.c would consider
as equivalent to no compression when streaming WAL segments with its tar
methods. Assigning always the compression level removes the confusion
of some code paths considering a value of 0 set in a specification as
either no compression or a default compression level.
Note that 010_pg_basebackup.pl has to be adjusted to skip a few tests
where the shape of the compression detail string for client and
server-side compression was checked using gzip. This is a result of the
code simplification, as gzip specifications cannot be used if a build
does not support it.

The comment in basebackup.c updated by 33bd4698c1 was actually
obsolete to begin with, since the symbols it was referring to haven't
existed in that header file for quite some time. The header file is
still needed for other reasons, though, so keep the #include, just
drop the comment.
pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() have been respectively renamed to
pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() as of 39969e2, but a few comments
did not get the call.

Compiling with -Wshadow=compatible-local yields quite a few warnings about
local variables being shadowed by compatible local variables in an inner
scope. Of course, this is perfectly valid in C, but we have had bugs in
the past as a result of developers failing to notice this. af7d270dd is a
recent example.
Here we do a cleanup of warnings we receive from -Wshadow=compatible-local
for code which is new to PostgreSQL 15. We've yet to have the discussion
about if we actually ever want to run that as a standard compilation flag.
We'll need to at least get the number of warnings down to something easier
to manage before we can realistically consider if we want this or not.
This commit is the first step towards reducing the warnings.
The changes being made here are all fairly trivial. Because of that, and
the fact that v15 is still in beta, this is being back-patched into 15.
It seems more risky not to do this as the risk of future bugs is increased
by the additional conflicts that this commit could cause for any future
bug fixes touching the same areas as this commit.
