92e70796e9 Doc: update some things relevant to minimum Test::More version.
Oversights in commit 405f32fc4.

Also, add a tip (discovered the hard way) about getting Test::More
0.98 to pass its regression tests on recent Linux platforms.

Require version 0.98 of Test::More for TAP tests
This means that the subtest feature will be available for use.

We expect that this change will make prairiedog go red until it is
updated, but other buildfarm animals should be fine.

7f580aa5d8 Improve contrib/amcheck's tests for CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Commits fdd965d07 and 3cd9c3b92 tested CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by
launching two separate pgbench runs concurrently.  This was needed so
that only a single client thread would run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY,
avoiding deadlock between two CICs.  However, there's a better way,
which is to use an advisory lock to prevent concurrent CICs.  That's
better in part because the test code is shorter and more readable, but
mostly because it automatically scales things to launch an appropriate
number of CICs relative to the number of INSERT transactions.
As committed, typically half to three-quarters of the CIC transactions
were pointless because the INSERT transactions had already stopped.

In passing, remove background_pgbench, which was added to support
these tests and isn't needed anymore.  We can always put it back
if we find a use for it later.

Back-patch to v12; older pgbench versions lack the
conditional-execution features needed for this method.

Move Perl test modules to a better namespace
The five modules in our TAP test framework all had names in the top
level namespace. This is unwise because, even though we're not
exporting them to CPAN, the names can leak, for example if they are
exported by the RPM build process. We therefore move the modules to the
PostgreSQL::Test namespace. In the process PostgresNode is renamed to
Cluster, and TestLib is renamed to Utils. PostgresVersion becomes simply
PostgreSQL::Version, to avoid possible confusion about what it's the
version of.
