Allow "in place" tablespaces.
This is a backpatch to branches 10-14 of the following commits: 7170f2159fb2 Allow "in place" tablespaces. c6f2f01611d4 Fix pg_basebackup with in-place tablespaces. f6f0db4d6240 Fix pg_tablespace_location() with in-place tablespaces 7a7cd84893e0 doc: Remove mention to in-place tablespaces for pg_tablespace_location() 5344723755bd Remove unnecessary Windows-specific basebackup code. In-place tablespaces were introduced as a testing helper mechanism, but they are going to be used for a bugfix in WAL replay to be backpatched to all stable branches. I (Álvaro) had to adjust some code to account for lack of get_dirent_type() in branches prior to 14.

+ Allows tablespaces to be created as directories inside
+ <filename>pg_tblspc</filename>, when an empty location string
+ is provided to the <command>CREATE TABLESPACE</command> command. This
+ is intended to allow testing replication scenarios where primary and
+ standby servers are running on the same machine. Such directories
+ are likely to confuse backup tools that expect to find only symbolic
+ links in that location. Only superusers can change this setting.
