Fix pg_rewind with in-place tablespaces when source is remote

libpq_source.c would consider any result returned by
pg_tablespace_location() as a symlink, resulting in run-time errors like
that:
pg_rewind: error: file "pg_tblspc/NN" is of different type in source and target

In-place tablespaces are directories located in pg_tblspc/, returned as
relative paths instead of absolute paths, so rely on that to make the
difference with a normal tablespace and an in-place one. If the path is
relative, the tablespace is handled as a directory. If the path is
absolute, consider it as a symlink.

In-place tablespaces are only intended for development purposes, so like
363e8f9 no backpatch is done. A test is added in pg_rewind with an
in-place tablespace and some data in it.
