FWIW, The default way to indicate failures in a test is the exit
code. Obviously that allows less detailed reporting, but other than that, it
works (that's how we test pg_regress today).

That's sufficient for cfbot, on the CI task still using autoconf. And for
meson it'll also suffice.

It actually already ran:
https://cirrus-ci.com/build/5984572702195712

The windows test failure is a transient issue independent of the patch
(something went wrong with image permissions). However the linux autoconf one
isn't:
https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/5482952532951040/log/src/tools/pg_bsd_indent/tmp_check/log/regress_log_001_pg_bsd_indent

# Running: pg_bsd_indent --version
Command 'pg_bsd_indent' not found in /tmp/cirrus-ci-build/tmp_install/usr/local/pgsql/bin, /tmp/cirrus-ci-build/src/tools/pg_bsd_indent, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /bin at /tmp/cirrus-ci-build/src/tools/pg_bsd_indent/../../../src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Utils.pm line 832.

I guess there might be a missing dependency? PATH looks sufficient.

Makes sense.
