Improve pg_regress.c's infrastructure for issuing psql commands.
Support issuing more than one "-c command" switch to a single
psql invocation. This allows combining some things that formerly
required two or more backend launches into a single session.
In particular, we can issue DROP DATABASE as one of the -c commands
without getting "DROP DATABASE cannot run inside a transaction block".
In addition to reducing the number of sessions needed, this patch
also suppresses "NOTICE: database "foo" does not exist, skipping"
chatter that was formerly generated during pg_regress's DROP DATABASE
(or ROLE) IF NOT EXISTS calls. That moves us another step closer
to the ideal of not seeing any messages during successful build/test.
This also eliminates some hard-coded restrictions on the length of
the commands issued. I don't think we were anywhere near hitting
those, but getting rid of the limit is comforting.
Patch by me, but thanks to Nathan Bossart for starting the discussion.
