Here's a new patch set. I've tried adding a "cleanup" callback to the
bbsink method and ensuring that it gets called even in case of an
error. The code for that is untested since I have no use for it with
the existing basebackup sink types, so let me know how it goes when
you try to use it for LZ4.
I've also added documentation for the new pg_basebackup options in
this version, and I fixed up a couple of these patches to be
pgindent-clean when they previously were not.
