For this an environment variable seems suited to me.  Say if
PG_TAP_ALLOW_INSECURE is set, then the tests said "insecure" are allowed
to run.  If the tests are tried to be run, then they are just skipped
with a nice log message to tell you about it.  The cool part about this
design is that all the tests that are not part of check-world could be
integrated in it.  Most developers don't run regression tests on a
shared resource.  Let me think about a full-fledged patch first.
Documentation also matters a lot.
