2023-01-26Revert "Rename contrib module basic_archive to basic_wal_module"Michael Paquier
This reverts commit 0ad3c60, as per feedback from Tom Lane, Robert Haas and Andres Freund. The new name used for the module had little support. This moves back to basic_archive as module name, and we will likely use that as template for recovery modules, as well.

2023-01-25Rename contrib module basic_archive to basic_wal_moduleMichael Paquier
This rename is in preparation for the introduction of recovery modules, where basic_wal_module will be used as a base template for the set of callbacks introduced. The former name did not really reflect all that. Author: Nathan Bossart Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20221227192449.GA3672473@nathanxps13
2023-01-20Describe each contrib module in its SGML section titleAlvaro Herrera
The original titles only had the module name, which is not very useful when scanning the list. By adding a very brief description to each title, the table of contents becomes friendlier. Also amend the introduction in the "additional modules" appendix, using the word "Extension" more extensively. Nowadays, almost all contrib modules are extensions, so this is also helpful.

2023-01-09Doc: add XML ID attributes to <sectN> and <varlistentry> tags.Tom Lane
This doesn't have any external effect at the moment, but it will allow adding useful link-discoverability features later. Brar Piening, reviewed by Karl Pinc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAB8KJ=jpuQU9QJe4+RgWENrK5g9jhoysMw2nvTN_esoOU0=a_w@mail.gmail.com
2022-02-03Allow archiving via loadable modules.Robert Haas
Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command. Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation that archives to a local directory. Nathan Bossart, with a little bit of kibitzing by me.
