Hi all,

d1029bb5a26c has switched the in-core tests suited based on pg_regress
to do path substitutions based on the set of environment variables
listed in $subject, rather than replacements based on input and output
files, generating new files.

These can be really useful for extension developers who maintain SQL
test suites, so how about documenting them?

I'd like to propose the attached patch, for HEAD, so as one does not
need to guess their existence from the SQL files or pg_regress.c.

Thoughts or comments?
