It was possible to run those tests with installcheck, but they are actually unstable as concurrent autovacuum jobs could prevent the truncation of the filespace map to happen (aka the scan of pg_database when building the list of relations to clean), an assumption we rely on when checking that the FSM of the relation gets truncated during a manual vacuum after deleting all the relation's data. This commit adds a NO_INSTALLCHECK to disallow installcheck, and introduces the use of a custom configuration file with autovacuum disabled. It happens that we already do that in the recovery test 008_fsm_truncation, for example.
