Michael Paquier 0c83fe8e4c Prevent path traversal in pg_basebackup and pg_rewind
pg_rewind and pg_basebackup could be fed paths from rogue endpoints that
could overwrite the contents of the client when received, achieving path
traversal.

There were two areas in the tree that were sensitive to this problem:
- pg_basebackup, through the astreamer code, where no validation was
performed before building an output path when streaming tar data.  This
is an issue in v15 and newer versions.
- pg_rewind file operations for paths received through libpq, for all
the stable branches supported.

In order to address this problem, this commit adds a helper function in
path.c, that reuses path_is_relative_and_below_cwd() after applying
canonicalize_path().  This can be used to validate the paths received
from a connection point.  A path is considered invalid if any of the two
following conditions is satisfied:
- The path is absolute.
- The path includes a direct parent-directory reference.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
