Peter Eisentraut suggests that pg_validatebackup should be called
pg_verifybackup, with corresponding terminology changes throughout the
code and documentation.
Here's a patch for that. I'd like to commit this quickly or abandon in
quickly, because large renaming patches like this are a pain to
maintain. I believe that there was a mild consensus in favor of this
on that thread, so I plan to go forward unless somebody shows up
pretty quickly to object.
