What I had in mind was something like the attached.

In testing this seems to do the right thing, and the nice part is that
it will be picked up by the buildfarm in the one case that's relevant,
namely the ecpg tests.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are a few places that set
--temp-config explicitly:

./contrib/test_decoding/Makefile: --temp-config
$(top_srcdir)/contrib/test_decoding/logical.conf \
./contrib/test_decoding/Makefile: --temp-config
$(top_srcdir)/contrib/test_decoding/logical.conf \
./src/test/modules/commit_ts/Makefile:REGRESS_OPTS =
--temp-config=$(top_srcdir)/src/test/modules/commit_ts/commit_ts.conf
./src/test/modules/test_rls_hooks/Makefile:REGRESS_OPTS =
--temp-config=$(top_srcdir)/src/test/modules/test_rls_hooks/rls_hooks.conf

Perhaps what we need to do is modify pg_regress.c slightly to allow more
than one --temp-config argument. But that could be done later.
