The changes here are:

02-pg_malloc-unified-v4.1.patch: fixed crashing PQfinish() at exit time
in pg_basebackup, added the atexit() initializer to pg_receivexlog

03-tarutils-strutils-v3.1.patch: rebased to avoid fuzz in patching

04-pg_basebackup-v18.1.patch: use Magnus' PQconninfo patch
and filter the PQconninfoOption array internally, also rebased
