OK, crake is running this code now. See
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2017-04-09%2001%3A58%3A15?
I've left off the SSL tests for now. We should look into how we can do
that more safely. Meanwhile Heikki is running the tests.
Note that some of these tests are quite expensive in terms of time,
particularly recover, subscription and pg_rewind.
This who want to play along can get the bleeding edge code from git,
either by cloning or grabbing a zip of the latest code. I have one or
two things I want to do before wrapping up another client release.
