Create a log file for each test run. Stdout and stderr of the test script,
as well as any subprocesses run as part of the test, are redirected to
the log file. This makes it a lot easier to debug test failures. Also print
the test output (ok 12 - ... messages) to the log file, and the command
line of any external programs executed with the system_or_bail and run_log
functions. This makes it a lot easier to debug failing tests.
Modify some of the pg_ctl and other command invocations to not use 'silent'
or 'quiet' options, and don't redirect output to /dev/null, so that you get
all the information in the log instead.
In the passing, construct some command lines in a way that works if $tempdir
contains quote-characters. I haven't systematically gone through all of
them or tested that, so I don't know if this is enough to make that work.
pg_rewind tests had a custom mechanism for creating a similar log file. Use
the new generic facility instead.
Michael Paquier and me.
Use SSPI authentication to allow connections exclusively from the OS
user that launched the test suite. This closes on Windows the
vulnerability that commit be76a6d39e
closed on other platforms. Users of "make installcheck" or custom test
harnesses can run "pg_regress --config-auth=DATADIR" to activate the
same authentication configuration that "make check" would use.
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Security: CVE-2014-0067
Perl 5.12 ships with a somewhat broken version of Test::Simple, so skip
the tests if that is found.

Bug Fixes
* subtest() should not fail if $? is non-zero. (Aaron Crane)
Unset environment variables that control message language, so that we
can compare some program output with expected strings. This is very
similar to what pg_regress does.
Creating the Unix-domain socket in the build directory can run into
name-length limitations. Therefore, create the socket file in the
default temporary directory of the operating system. Keep the temporary
data directory etc. in the build tree.
