Further fixes for tab-completion TAP tests.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 56a3921a2f51 · 2020-01-03T12:54:13.000-05:00
Escape non-printable characters in failure reports, by using Data::Dumper in Useqq mode. Also, bump $Test::Builder::Level so the diagnostic references the calling line, and use diag() instad of note(), so it shows even in non-verbose mode (per request from Christoph Berg). Also, give up on trying to test for the specific way that readline chooses to overwrite existing text in the \DRD -> \drds test. There are too many variants, it seems, at least on the libedit side of things. Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200103110128.GA28967@msg.df7cb.de
