Tom Lane eadfafda04 Improve isolationtester's timeout management.
isolationtester.c had a hard-wired limit of 3 minutes per test step.
It now emerges that this isn't quite enough for some of the slowest
buildfarm animals.  This isn't the first time we've had to raise
this limit (cf. 1db439ad4), so let's make it configurable.  This
patch raises the default to 5 minutes, and introduces an environment
variable PGISOLATIONTIMEOUT that can be set if more time is needed,
following the precedent of PGCTLTIMEOUT.

Also, modify isolationtester so that when the timeout is hit,
it explicitly reports having sent a cancel.  This makes the regression
failure log considerably more intelligible.  (In the worst case, a
timed-out test might actually be reported as "passing" without this
extra output, so arguably this is a bug fix in itself.)

In passing, update the README file, which had apparently not gotten
touched when we added "make check" support here.

Back-patch to 9.6; older versions don't have comparable timeout logic.

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
