WAL (and timeline history) files created by pg_basebackup did not
maintain the new base backup's archive status. That's currently not a
problem if the new node is used as a standby - but if that node is
promoted all still existing files can get archived again. With a high
wal_keep_segment settings that can happen a significant time later -
which is quite confusing.
Change both the backend (for the -x/-X fetch case) and pg_basebackup
(for -X stream) itself to always mark WAL/timeline files included in
the base backup as .done. That's in line with walreceiver.c doing so.
The verbosity of the pg_basebackup changes show pretty clearly that it
needs some refactoring, but that'd result in not be backpatchable
changes.
Backpatch to 9.1 where pg_basebackup was introduced.
