backport: Extend background_psql() to be able to start asynchronously This is a backport of ba08edb0654. Originally it was only applied to master, but I (Andres) am planning to fix a few bugs in BackgroundPsql, which would be somewhat harder with the behavioural differences across branches. It's also generally good for test infrastructure to behave similarly across branches, to avoid pain during backpatching.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ilcctzb5ju2gulvnadjmhgatnkxsdpac652byb2u3d3wqziyvx@fbuqcglker46 Michael's original commit message: This commit extends the constructor routine of BackgroundPsql.pm with a new "wait" parameter. If set to 0, the routine returns without waiting for psql to start, ready to consume input. background_psql() in Cluster.pm gains the same "wait" parameter. The default behavior is still to wait for psql to start. It becomes now possible to not wait, giving to TAP scripts the possibility to perform actions between a BackgroundPsql startup and its wait_connect() call.
