FWIW, The default way to indicate failures in a test is the exit
code. Obviously that allows less detailed reporting, but other than that, it
works (that's how we test pg_regress today).

That's sufficient for cfbot, on the CI task still using autoconf. And for
meson it'll also suffice.
It actually already ran:
https://cirrus-ci.com/build/5984572702195712
The windows test failure is a transient issue independent of the patch
(something went wrong with image permissions). However the linux autoconf one
isn't:
https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/5482952532951040/log/src/tools/pg_bsd_indent/tmp_check/log/regress_log_001_pg_bsd_indent
# Running: pg_bsd_indent --version

I guess there might be a missing dependency? PATH looks sufficient.

Makes sense.
