With the imminent introduction of Postgres core incremental backups support in Barman, it will become necessary to validate the possibility of taking an incremental backup.
Incremental backups establish a sequential series of backups, where the initial backup invariably constitutes a full backup. Subsequently, numerous instances may arise wherein both full and incremental backups are generated.
This PR will handle validation of the parent backup info before taking an incremental backup.
