pg_regress needs to not install plpgsql into the data database on 9.0 when passed `--load-language=plpgsql`, because
plpgsqlwill of course already be installed.
Unless you want all the third-party modules that depend on plpgsql for tests to somehow detect that they're going to
runon 8.5a3 or later and not pass that option. But that'd be kind of a PITA. Much easier if pg_regress knows it doesn't
needto install plpgsql.
