Configuration affects what can be tested in installcheck, that's quite
natural. I would be happy with simply adding an alternative expected
output file for min_prepared_xacts=0 case. Like we've done for xml test
cases, for example, though that's a compile-time option.

Or we could print a notice if you run make installcheck against a server
with max_prepared_transactions=0.
