"make check" supports EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS to pass extra options to
pg_regress, but all the other places where pg_regress is used do not
allow this. The attached patch adds EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS to
Makefile.global.in (for contrib modules) and two more special
Makefiles (isolation and pg_upgrade).
The use case here is that Debian needs to be able to redirect the unix
socket directory used to /tmp, because /var/run/postgresql isn't
writable for the buildd user. The matching part for this inside
pg_regress is still in discussion here, but the addition of
EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS is an independent step that is also useful for
others, so I'd like to propose it for inclusion.
