When WAL is streamed during the backup (default mode), it comes in unencrypted. But we need keys to encrypt it. For now, we expect that the user would put `pg_tde` dir containing the `1664_key` and `1664_providers` into the destination directory before starting the backup. We encrypt the streamed WAL according to internal keys. No `pg_tde` dir means no streamed WAL encryption.

pg_tdedir containing the1664_keyand1664_providersinto the destination directory before starting the backup. And we encrypt streamed WAL according to the internal keys. Nopg_tdedir means no streamed WAL encryption.Why I created
TDEXLogCryptBuffer():stream->walmethod->opsis an interface and there are at least four implementation of thewrite()method which accepts a buffer as argument. I thought about usingTDEXLogSmgrInitWriteReuseKey()+pipe+xlog_smgr->seg_write(), but my experiments show that it is possible for pg_basebackup to start a stream from a couple of "wal keys back", therefore reusing of the last key won't work.
