TAP tests are passed a path to pg_regress as $ENV{PG_REGRESS}. You
should be using that. On non-MSVC, the path to a non-installed psql is
in this case  "$TESTDIR/../../bin/psql" - this should work for VPATH
builds as well as non-VPATH. On MSVC it's a bit harder - it's
"$top_builddir/$releasetype/psql" but we don't expose that. Perhaps we
should. c.f. commit f4ce6c4d3a
