Amended patch attached after a few Perl-related comments I got on
private mail. Instead of

$exc_save !~ /^$timeout_exception.*/

I've updated to:

$exc_save !~ /^\Q$timeout_exception\E/

i.e. don't do an unnecessary wildcard match at the end, and disable
metachar interpretation in the substituted range.

Still needs applying to pg9.6 and pg10.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix timeouts in PostgresNode::psql

Newer Perl or IPC::Run versions default to appending the filename to string
exceptions, e.g. the exception

    psql timed out

 is thrown as

    psql timed out at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/IPC/Run.pm line 2961.

To handle this, match exceptions with !~ rather than ne.
