c129b1779f wal-g: Add support for incremental backups.
This only defaults to on for local-disk backups, since they are more
disk-size-sensitive, and local accesses are quite cheap compared to
loading multiple incremental backups from S3.

c1269f1038 docs: Better document backup/export tool tradeoffs.
- More consistent export/import vs backup bullets at the top.

- Remove misleading documentation regarding the `zulip_org_id` reuse
  problems. This documentation was written for Zulip 2.1.0 in
  c6fe6cf0a4 and largely made obsolete
  in d800ac33a0 (Zulip 5.0).

- Light editing for readability/crispness.

Fixes #28925.

8ede54fb1b docs: Add a link to installer flag docs from backup instructions.
The documentation for restoring backups referenced that it needed to

the flag explicitly.

18230fcd99 docs: Correct and clarify wal-g backup documentation.
Backups are written every 16k of WAL archive, and by default do not
have an upper limit on how out of date they are, as `archive_timeout`
defaults to 0.

Also emphasize that these are streaming backups, not just one
point-in-time backup daily.

Fixes #21976.

75525f5b53 docs: Convert .html#fragment links to .md#fragment.
This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them.  See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.

Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved.  This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.

Fixes #13264.

c19d6fb3ef docs: Clean redundant relative links.
We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another.  However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

cb2d0ff32b postgresql: Support replication on PostgreSQL >= 11, document.
PostgreSQL 11 and below used a configuration file names
`recovery.conf` to manage replicas and standbys; support for this was
removed in PostgreSQL 12[1], and the configuration parameters were
moved into the main `postgresql.conf`.

Add `zulip.conf` settings for the primary server hostname and
replication username, so that the complete `postgresql.conf`
configuration on PostgreSQL 14 can continue to be managed, even when
replication is enabled.  For consistency, also begin writing out the
`recovery.conf` for PostgreSQL 11 and below.

In PostgreSQL 12 configuration and later, the `wal_level =
hot_standby` setting is removed, as `hot_standby` is equivalent to
`replica`, which is the default value[2].  Similarly, the
`hot_standby = on` setting is also the default[3].

Documentation is added for these features, and the commentary on the
"Export and Import" page referencing files under `puppet/zulip_ops/`
is removed, as those files no longer have any replication-specific
configuration.

476524c0c1 scripts: Add a script to stop the server.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.

Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services.  It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.

Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.

Fixes #14959.
