OK. Done in the attached version, which also includes a few other changes:

- I expanded the regression tests. They now cover every line of code
in parse_manifest.c except for a few that I believe to be unreachable
(though I might be mistaken). Coverage for pg_validatebackup.c is also
improved, but it's not 100%; there are some cases that I don't know
how to hit outside of a kernel malfunction, and others that I only
know how to hit on non-Windows systems. For instance, it's easy to use
perl to make a file inaccessible on Linux with chmod(0, $filename),
but I gather that doesn't work on Windows. I'm going to spend a bit
more time looking at this, but I think it's already reasonably good.

- I fixed a couple of very minor bugs which I discovered by writing those tests.

- I added documentation, in part based on a draft Mark Dilger shared
with me off-list.

I don't think this is committable just yet, but I think it's getting
fairly close, so if anyone has major objections please speak up soon.
