I don't think we care one bit whether these modules use pgxs, at least
not currently.  If we find any issues later on, it should be an easy fix
anyway.

I vote for moving one module per commmit.  Probably the first commit
will be the hardest one to get right, so let's pick an easy module --
say, pgbench.  That way there are less gotchas hopefully.  Once we have
that working everywhere we look into moving another one.
