I might be missing something obvious, but if we use a third-party libpq driver
in the testsuite doesn't that imply that a patch adding net new functionality
to libpq also need to add it to the driver in order to write the tests? I'm
thinking about the SCRAM situation a few years back when drivers weren't up to
date.
