Tom Lane c91504b958 Move rolenames test out of the core regression tests.
This test script is unsafe to run in "make installcheck" mode for
(at least) two reasons: it creates and destroys some role names
that don't follow the "regress_xxx" naming convention, and it
sets and then resets the application_name GUC attached to every
existing role.  While we've not had complaints, these surely are
not good things to do within a production installation, and
regress.sgml pretty clearly implies that we won't do them.

Rather than lose test coverage altogether, let's just move this
script somewhere where it will get run by "make check" but not
"make installcheck".  src/test/modules/ already has that property.

Since it seems likely that we'll want other regression tests in
future that also exceed the constraints of "make installcheck",
create a generically-named src/test/modules/unsafe_tests/
directory to hold them.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
