Parts of t/08-postgresql_conf.t do not work when run as root

[TJC]

When adding the CI integration, I discovered that t/08-postgresql_conf.t would fail if the tests are run as root. Everything else was fine.

For now I've just skipped the offending parts, but it would be good to fix them up.

The issue is that postgresql refuses to start if it's run as root. The main Test::PostgreSQL has code to detect uid=0 and launch postgresql as another uid, but this particular test doesn't do that, so fails.

I looked into that and maybe it's just a brain fart after a long day of JavaScript at $work but I don't see a reasonably easy way to setuid a program and capture its stdout, or at least not without jumping through some hoops.

The tests in question are non-essential so no harm in skipping them in CI. If you think that's a Bad Thing I can try to make time and circle back to this problem but it's not worth the effort IMO.

I'll mark this as low priority and it can live on forever in the issues list.

Might be worth us looking into this issue again, as I suspect Postgresql is better about running as root now, given the prevalence of Docker
