Commit d6bf0ab170 introduced pg_parse_lsn() to validate LSNs given on
the command line of pg_waldump, pg_recvlogical, and pg_receivewal.
The remaining sscanf("%X/%08X") call sites under src/bin parse LSNs
that arrive in server responses, timeline history files, and
backup_label files. sscanf() accepts several forms that pg_lsn input
rejects and can silently continue with a different location than the
input text: a first component wider than eight hex digits wraps
around, a wider second component is truncated, and leading
whitespace, signs, "0x" prefixes, and trailing characters are
consumed or ignored.
Convert those call sites as well. The two call sites that read a
location out of a longer line isolate it by temporarily terminating
the string at the next whitespace character, so that they can use
pg_parse_lsn() like the others. Each tool keeps its existing error
message.
Malformed metadata now fails with each tool's existing error instead
of silently proceeding with a different location. Two error paths
shift: pg_rewind's history-file parser now rejects trailing
characters attached to a switchpoint, which used to be ignored, and a
malformed backup_label location now fails pg_combinebackup's "could
not parse" check rather than its "improper terminator" check.
