Enumerate available tablespaces after starting the backup

This closes a race condition where if a tablespace was created
after the enumeration happened but before the do_pg_start_backup()
was called, the backup would be incomplete. Now that it's done
while we are in backup mode, WAL replay will recreate it during
restore.
