I poked around in the buildfarm client and was surprised to
find that the old TestSepgsql.pm module does in fact expect

I thought we were trying to get rid of that requirement though.
(For sure, you won't ever see me running the buildfarm
client under a sudo-capable account.) I think the new idea
is to leave the module installed and active, which is kind
of problematic if we want to also use TestSepgsql.pm in the
back branches.
I also don't quite understand how 001_sepgsql.pl's "checking for
sepgsql-regtest policy" test is passing if the previous
TestSepgsql.pm run removed that module ...
I suppose one solution is to create a new buildfarm animal and then use
rhino only for <= pg17 and <rhino-prime> only for pg18+
