Tom Lane 11652f919d Set readline-relevant ENV vars in interactive_psql(), not caller.
Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for
invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test
function, but it didn't move enough stuff.  We need to set up various
environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure
stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering
the calling user's ~/.psql_history.  Expecting calling scripts to
remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller
001_password.pl did not do it.  Hence, remove those initialization
steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql().
Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has
no effect on calling scripts.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
