Subject: Add support for generating minimal recovery.conf when doing base
 backups

Adds commandline option -R to pg_basebackup that creates a recovery.conf which
enables standby mode using the same parameters that pg_basebackup used to
connect to the master, and writes it into the output directory (or injects it
in the tar file when tar format is used).
