[pgpool-committers: 8294] pgpool: Allow to run regression test against existing installation with

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Allow to run regression test against existing installation without recompiling.

It is possible to run regression test using existing installation.

regression.sh -m noinstall

However some of tests fail in this case because those tests require
pgpool to be compiled with variable HEALTHCHECK_DEBUG is set. This is
only possible in following procedure.

make clean
cd src/test/regression
./regress.sh

To run the regression test against existing installation new config
variable "health_check_test" is added. The source code is always
compiled as if HEALTHCHECK_DEBUG is set. The test facility is not
activated unless health_check_test is set to on.

For now I push to only master branch. After some tests, I am going to
push to all supported branches. I know adding new parameter to stable
branches is unusual but the feature is for enhancing test and it is
not visible to ordinal users. So I think my plan is justified by them.
