Great, thanks.  Here's one more version, hopefully the last one.

- I discovered that not setting PGPORT was causing some of the tests
  that fail (using command_fails) to fail to test what was being tested.
  The problem is that the command was failing with "could not connect to
  server" instead of failing because of trying to cluster a nonexistant
  table, etc.  Unfortunately the only way to verify this is by looking
  at the regress_log_xxx_foobar file.  Not ideal, but not this patch's
  fault.

- I changed the routines moved to PostgresNode so that they are instance
  methods, i.e. $node->poll_until_query; also psql and
  issues_query_like.  The latter also sets "local $PGPORT" so that the
  command is run with the correct port.

- It would be nice to have command_ok and command_fails in PostgresNode
  too; that would remove the need for setting $ENV{PGPORT} but it's
  possible to run commands outside a node too, so we'd need duplicates,
  which would be worse.

- I changed start/stop/restart so that they keep track of the postmaster
  PID; also added a DESTROY sub to PostgresNode that sends SIGQUIT.
  This means that when the test finishes, the server gets an immediate
  stop signal.  We were getting a lot of errors in the server log about
  failing to write to the stats file otherwise, until the node noticed
  that the datadir was gone.

- I removed the @active_nodes array, which is now unnecessary (per
  above).

- I moved the "delete $ENV{PGxxx}" back to a BEGIN block in TestLib.
  I did it because it's possible to write test scripts without
  PostgresNode, and it's not nice to have those pick up the environment.
  This still affects anything using PostgresNode because that one uses
  TestLib.

Finally, I ran perltidy on all the files, which strangely changed stuff
that I didn't expect it to change.  I wonder if this is related to the
perltidy version.  Do you see further changes if you run perltidy on the
patched tree?  This is my version:
