What we'd discussed was applying this to all branches that contain the
5-second-timeout logic, which is everything back to 9.1. The branches
that have TAP tests have a wider cross-section for failure in the
buildfarm because more postmaster starts are involved, but all of them
are capable of getting burnt this way --- see shearwater's results for
instance.
