Michael Paquier 320c311fda worker_spi: Switch to TAP tests
This commit moves worker_spi to use TAP tests.  sql/worker_spi.sql is
gone, replaced by an equivalent set of queries in a TAP script, without
worker_spi loaded in shared_preload_libraries:
- One query to launch a worker dynamically, relying now on "postgres" as
the default database to connect to.
- Two wait queries with poll_query_until(), one to wait for the worker
schema to be initialized and a second to wait for a tuple processed by
the worker.
- Server reload to accelerate the main loop of the spawned worker.

More coverage is added for workers registered when the library is loaded
with shared_preload_libraries, while on it, checking that these are
connecting to the database set in the GUC worker_spi.database.

A local run of these test is showing that TAP is slightly faster than
the original, while providing more coverage (3.7s vs 4.4s).  There was
also some discussions about keeping the SQL tests, but this would
require initializing twice a cluster, increasing the runtime of the
tests up to 5.6s here.

These tests will be expanded more in an upcoming patch aimed at adding
support for custom wait events for the Extension class, still under
discussion, to check the new in-core APIs with and without a library set
in shared_preload_libraries.

Bharath has written the part where shared_preload_libraries is used,
while I have migrated the existing SQL tests to TAP.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
