Where would we want that test to live? Right now we have the slightly odd

e.g. frontend binary ones are below src/bin/.
libpq TAP tests should be in src/interfaces/libpq/t/.
I think there were issues that the build farm wouldn't pick up a test
located there, but that should be fixed rather than worked around.
That's failing to account for the fact that a libpq test can't
really be a pure-perl TAP test; you need some C code to drive the
library. I don't agree with intermixing such code with libpq
itself, independently of any buildsystem issues (which there
might well be).
Such things could be put under src/interfaces/libpq/test, or some other
subdirectory. We already have src/interfaces/ecpg/test.
So I think the design of putting such tests under
src/modules is fine.
I don't get what the rationale for that would be. libpq tests are not
"modules" of any kind.
If I'm working on libpq, I want to do make && make check inside the
libpq source directory.
