Unify PostgresNode's new() and get_new_node() methods
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).

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.
