Yes, it is required to run at least two setup tests because regress
tests require a database to be created:
1- The initdb executable is needed, and it is installed by the
'tmp_install' test for the tests.
2- Although the initdb executable exists, it is not enough by itself.
Regress tests copies its database contents from the template
directory, instead of running initdb for each test [1] (This is the
default behaviour in the meson builds' regress tests). This template
directory is created by the 'initdb_cache' test.
