Tom Lane b21415595c Doc: improve README files associated with TAP tests.
Rearrange src/test/perl/README so that the first section is more
clearly "how to run these tests", and the rest "how to write new
tests".  Add some basic info there about debugging test failures.
Then, add cross-refs to that READNE from other READMEs that
describe how to run TAP tests.

Per suggestion from Kevin Burke, though this is not his original
patch.

Regression tests for authentication
===================================
This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.
Running the tests
=================
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.
See src/test/perl/README for more info about running these tests.
