I added 3 test cases to the tap tests, but not sure if they are
following the rules. One question about the failures test, my thoughts
is that it should be in the no_server test cases, but it is hard to
verify the input as the table access method can be any name, such as
zheap, zedstore or zheap2 etc. Any suggestion will be great.

Updated in v3 patch.

By the way, I saw the same style for other variables, such as
escape_tablespace, should this be fixed as well?
