Thank you for pointing to some problems of the patch. I've attached a modified version below.

A bug has been recently fixed for that, see 0c8910a0, so having more
coverage would be welcome, now your patch has a couple of problems.
25fff40 is the original commit which has introduced pg_read_all_stats.

Your patch has a couple of problems by the way:
- database creation is costly, those should not be part of the main
regression test suite.
- Any roles created should use "regress_" as prefix.
- You should look also at negative tests which trigger "must be
superuser or a member of pg_read_all_settings", like say a "SHOW
stats_temp_directory" with a non-privileged user.
