Tom Lane 5c31afc49d Avoid time-of-day-dependent failure in log rotation test.
Buildfarm members pogona and petalura have shown a failure when
pg_ctl/t/004_logrotate.pl starts just before local midnight.
The default rotate-at-midnight behavior occurs just before the
Perl script examines current_logfiles, so it figures that the
rotation it's already requested has occurred ... but in reality,
that rotation happens just after it looks, so the expected new
log data goes into a different file than the one it's examining.

In HEAD, src/test/kerberos/t/001_auth.pl has acquired similar code
that evidently has a related failure mode.  Besides being quite new,
few buildfarm critters run that test, so it's unsurprising that
we've not yet seen a failure there.

Fix both cases by setting log_rotation_age = 0 so that no time-based
rotation can occur.  Also absorb 004_logrotate.pl's decision to
set lc_messages = 'C' into the kerberos test, in hopes that it will
work in non-English prevailing locales.

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
