Convert sepgsql tests to TAP

Browse Source 
Add a TAP test for sepgsql.  This automates the previously required
manual setup before the test.  The actual tests are still run by
pg_regress, as before, but now called from within the TAP Perl script.

The previous manual test script (test_sepgsql) is left in place, since
its purpose is (also) to test whether a running instance was properly
initialized for sepgsql.  But it has been changed to call pg_regress
directly and no longer require make.

<para>
The <filename>sepgsql</filename> test suite is run if
<literal>PG_TEST_EXTRA</literal> contains <literal>sepgsql</literal> (see
<xref linkend="regress-additional"/>). This method is suitable during
development of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. Alternatively, there
is a way to run the tests to checks whether a database instance has been
set up properly for <literal>sepgsql</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Due to the nature of <productname>SELinux</productname>, running the
regression tests for <filename>sepgsql</filename> requires several extra
configuration steps, some of which must be done as root.
The regression tests will not be run by an ordinary
<literal>make check</literal> or <literal>make installcheck</literal> command; you must
set up the configuration and then invoke the test script manually.
The tests must be run in the <filename>contrib/sepgsql</filename> directory
</para>
<para>
The manual tests must be run in the <filename>contrib/sepgsql</filename> directory
of a configured PostgreSQL build tree. Although they require a build tree,
the tests are designed to be executed against an installed server,
that is they are comparable to <literal>make installcheck</literal> not
