Sven Klemm 300b05daf0 Set random_page_cost to 1.0 for tests
Set random_page_cost to 1.0 to produce more reasonable plans.
This is similar to what timescaledb-tune would set.

This patch also adds test/pgtest.conf which is only used as
postgresql.conf for running the PostgreSQL test suite, because
the random_page_cost change lead to test failures in the PostgreSQL
test suite.

PostgreSQL tests for TimescaleDB

The CMake configuration within this directory makes it possible to run the standard PostgreSQL test suite with the TimescaleDB extension loaded. This is useful to ensure that TimescaleDBs modifications planner and DDL hooks are compatible with standard PostgreSQL.

Running

The configuration within adds a new CMake target, pginstallcheck, that allows running the PostgreSQL test suite using a modified test schedule. The target requires access to the PostgreSQL source code, which can be configured via the PG_SOURCE_DIR CMake variable. The source tree needs to be compiled, at least the src/test/regress directory. If the path to a PostgreSQL source tree is not auto-detected, this variable can be set manually to point to the right location.

# In top-level directory of a TimescaleDB source tree
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DPG_SOURCE_DIR=<path/to/pg/source> ..

Once CMake is correctly configured, run:

$ make pginstallcheck
