pgsql: Refactor Perl test code - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Refactor Perl test code

The original code was a bit clunky; make it more amenable for further
reuse by creating a new Perl package PostgresNode, which is an
object-oriented representation of a single server, with some support
routines such as init, start, stop, psql.  This serves as a better basis
on which to build further test code, and enables writing tests that use
more than one server without too much complication.

This commit modifies a lot of the existing test files, mostly to remove
explicit calls to system commands (pg_ctl) replacing them with method
calls of a PostgresNode object.  The result is quite a bit more
straightforward.

Also move some initialization code to BEGIN and INIT blocks instead of
having it straight in as top-level code.

This commit also introduces package RecursiveCopy so that we can copy
whole directories without having to depend on packages that may not be
present on vanilla Perl 5.8 installations.

I also ran perltidy on the modified files, which changes some code sites
that are not otherwise touched by this patch.  I tried to avoid this,
but it ended up being more trouble than it's worth.
