Okay, the changes done here look straight-forward seen from here.  I
got one small-ish comment.

+basic_archive_startup(ArchiveModuleState *state)
+{
+   BasicArchiveData *data = palloc0(sizeof(BasicArchiveData));

Perhaps this should use MemoryContextAlloc() rather than a plain
palloc().  This should not matter based on the position where the
startup callback is called, still that may be a pattern worth
encouraging.
