As a buildfarm owner, I'd take a *really* dim view of the buildfarm
trying to auto-fetch code off the internet. As a developer, the
idea that "make check-world" would try to do that is even scarier.
Buildfarm owners are likely to have taken at least some steps to
sandbox their builds, but developers not so much.
I do not think we should even think about going there.
Your thoughts about making psql have some more automation-friendly
output formats seem worth pursuing though.
