Back-patch fixes to make TAP tests work on Windows.
This back-ports commit
13d856e177e69083 and assorted followon patches
into 9.4 and 9.5. 9.5 and HEAD are now substantially identical in all
the files touched by this commit, except that 010_pg_basebackup.pl has
a few more tests related to the new --slot option. 9.4 has many fewer
TAP tests, but the test infrastructure files are substantially the same,
with the exception that 9.4 lacks the single-tmp-install infrastructure
introduced in 9.5 (commit
dcae5faccab64776).
The primary motivation for this patch is to ensure that TAP test case
fixes can be back-patched without hazards of the kind seen in commits
34557f544/
06dd4b44f. In principle it should also make the world safe
for running the TAP tests in the buildfarm in these branches; although
we might want to think about back-porting
dcae5faccab64776 to 9.4 if
we're going to do that for real, because the TAP tests are quite disk
space hungry without it.
Michael Paquier did the back-porting work; original patches were by
him and assorted other people.
