This PR improves monitoring of pg basebackups. During a backup, it re…

…gularly checks how much data has been uploaded and compares this to the last recorded amount in a persisted progress file. If the upload is progressing, it updates the record with the new data and current time. If the backup has not advanced compared to the previous value, it reports the time elapsed since the last progress and emits stalled metrics. Once a backup is complete, the record is reset.
