This module becomes much more useful if we allow it to be used as base
class for external projects. To achieve this, change the exported
get_new_node function into a class method instead, and use the standard
Perl idiom of accepting the class as first argument. This method works
as expected for subclasses. The standalone function is kept for
backwards compatibility, though it could be removed in pg11.

Per discussion, the TAP tests are really more verbose than necessary, so
remove the --verbose flag from PROVE_FLAGS. Also add comments to let
folks know how they can enable it if they really wish to, as suggested
by Craig Ringer.

Add a new optional Makefile variable PROVE_TESTS that, if passed as a
space-separated list of paths relative to the Makefile invoking
$(prove_check) or $(prove_installcheck), runs just those tests instead
of t/*.pl .

In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a
PostgreSQL bug. Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests.
This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version. Commit
e7293e3271 worked around the bug, but the
subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code. As that
commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress
the bug. This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter
the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated
pattern changes. Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced.
As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl
5.8.8. The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch
that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.4 is affected.
In an example of TAP test scripts, there is the test checking whether
the result of the query is expected or not. But, in previous example,
the exit code of psql instead of the query result was checked unexpectedly.

Also, mention in README that Perl files should be perltidy'ed. This
isn't really the best place (since we have Perl files elsewhere in the
tree) and this is already in pgindent's README, but this subdir is
likely to get hacked a whole lot more than the other Perl files, so it
seems okay to spend two lines on this.

Also, the dump_info method got split into another method that returns
the stuff as a string instead of just printing it to stdout.
Add a new README in src/test/perl too.
