inplace010-tests-v1.patch from this message, committed as

It emerges that the "ALTER DATABASE regression_utf8 RESET TABLESPACE"
command is a complete no-op [1]. I am guessing that that was not the
behavior you had in mind, and am wondering if we are losing any test
coverage thereby. Did you have a specific reason for manipulating the
TABLESPACE property and not some random GUC setting?
