It's easy to miss setting the environment variable and eventually end
up with code incompatible with pgindent committed. IMO, running the
pgindent in at least one of the CI systems if not all (either as part
task SyanityCheck or task Linux - Debian Bullseye - Autoconf) help
catches things early on in CF bot runs itself. This saves committers
time but at the cost of free run-time that cirrus-ci provides.
