Clarify the README files for the various separate TAP-based test suites.
Explain the difference between "make check" and "make installcheck". Mention the need for --enable-tap-tests (only some of these did so before). Standardize their wording about how to run the tests.

Running the tests
=================
- make check
+NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
+Run
+ make check
or
-
make installcheck
+You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
+In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested. With
+"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
+sources and then tested.
+
+Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
+cluster, as well as a test KDC server.
