There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.
This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing
use warnings;
by
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
in all Perl files.

When set, this environment variable was only effective for data
directories but not for all the other temporary files created by
PostgreSQL::Test::Utils. Keeping the temporary files after a successful
run can be useful for debugging purposes.
The documentation is updated to reflect the new behavior, with contents
available in doc/ since v16 and in src/test/perl/README since v15.

The oldest vendor-shipped Perl in the buildfarm is 5.14.2, which is
the last version that Debian Wheezy shipped. That OS is EOL, but we
keep it running because there is no other convenient way to test certain
non-mainstream 32-bit platforms. There is no bugfix in the 5.14.2 release
that is required, and yet it's also not the latest minor release --
that would be 5.14.4. To clarify the situation, we have thus arranged the
buildfarm to test 5.14.0. That allows configure scripts and documentation
to state 5.14 without fine print.
The MSVC build didn't check the version, since our previous minimum 5.8.3
was considered too old to check for on Windows. We will need a check for
Windows sometime during the v16 cycle, but that could be rendered moot
by the impending Meson conversion, so it seems safe to just document
the requirement for now.

Slow hosts may avoid load-induced, spurious failures by setting
environment variable PG_TEST_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT to some number of seconds
greater than 180. Developers may see faster failures by setting that
environment variable to some lesser number of seconds. In tests, write
$PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::timeout_default wherever the convention has
been to write 180. This change raises the default for some briefer
timeouts. Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Rather than doing manual book keeping to plan the number of tests to run
in each TAP suite, conclude each run with done_testing() summing up the
the number of tests that ran. This removes the need for maintaning and
updating the plan count at the expense of an accurate count of remaining
during the test suite runtime.
This patch has been discussed a number of times, often in the context of
other patches which updates tests, so a larger number of discussions can
be found in the archives.

Oversights in commit 405f32fc4.
Also, add a tip (discovered the hard way) about getting Test::More
0.98 to pass its regression tests on recent Linux platforms.

Commit 90627cf98 added support for retaining the data directory even on
successful tests, but failed to document the environment variable which
controls retention. This adds a small note to the TAP test README about
PG_TEST_NOCLEAN which when set skips removing the data directories from
successful 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.

The five modules in our TAP test framework all had names in the top
level namespace. This is unwise because, even though we're not
exporting them to CPAN, the names can leak, for example if they are
exported by the RPM build process. We therefore move the modules to the
PostgreSQL::Test namespace. In the process PostgresNode is renamed to
Cluster, and TestLib is renamed to Utils. PostgresVersion becomes simply
PostgreSQL::Version, to avoid possible confusion about what it's the
version of.

Incrementing the level of the call stack reported is useful for
debugging purposes as it allows to control which part of the test is
exactly failing, especially if a test is structured with subroutines
that call routines from Test::More.
This adds more incrementations of $Test::Builder::Level where debugging
gets improved (for example it does not make sense for some paths like
pg_rewind where long subroutines are used).
A note is added to src/test/perl/README about that, based on a
suggestion from Andrew Dunstan and a wording coming from both of us.
Usage of Test::Builder::Level has spread in 12, so a backpatch down to
this version is done.

The previous text didn't provide any clear explanation of our policy
around TAP test portability. The recipe for using perlbrew had some
problems, too: it resulted in a non-shared libperl (preventing
testing of plperl) and it caused some modules to be updated to
current when the point of the recipe is to build an old environment.

There is only one constructor now for PostgresNode, with the idiomatic
name 'new'. The method is not exported by the class, and must be called
as "PostgresNode->new('name',[args])". All the TAP tests that use
PostgresNode are modified accordingly. Third party scripts will need
adjusting, which is a fairly mechanical process (I just used a sed
script).

This module becomes much more useful if we allow it to be used as base
class for external projects. To achieve this, change the exported
get_new_node function into a class method instead, and use the standard
Perl idiom of accepting the class as first argument. This method works
as expected for subclasses. The standalone function is kept for
backwards compatibility, though it could be removed in pg11.

Per discussion, the TAP tests are really more verbose than necessary, so
remove the --verbose flag from PROVE_FLAGS. Also add comments to let
folks know how they can enable it if they really wish to, as suggested
by Craig Ringer.

In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a
PostgreSQL bug. Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests.
This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version. Commit
e7293e3271bf618eeb2d4779a15fc516a69fe463 worked around the bug, but the
subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code. As that
commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress
the bug. This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter
the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated
pattern changes. Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced.
As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl
5.8.8. The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch
that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.4 is affected.

In an example of TAP test scripts, there is the test checking whether
the result of the query is expected or not. But, in previous example,
the exit code of psql instead of the query result was checked unexpectedly.

Also, mention in README that Perl files should be perltidy'ed. This
isn't really the best place (since we have Perl files elsewhere in the
tree) and this is already in pgindent's README, but this subdir is
likely to get hacked a whole lot more than the other Perl files, so it
seems okay to spend two lines on this.

Also, the dump_info method got split into another method that returns
the stuff as a string instead of just printing it to stdout.
