As the text says, it's supposed to be made by running the core
regression tests ("make installcheck").

Yeah, that's a bit out of date. I fixed it up awhile ago for v17:

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=5caa05749

However, the text also points out that you won't necessarily get
exactly the same results as are shown, for assorted reasons of
which different-version is only one. So I think these changes
were more neatnik-ism than rescuing the chapter from total
irrelevancy.
