Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] perl tap: Use croak instead of die in our perl helper
 modules

Many of our helpers called die, but that means that the line number
reported on exit is the line number in Cluster.pm  or Utils.pm. This
starts using croak everywhere (except for INIT) in our Cluster.pm and
Utils.pm files. That way the line number of the caller is reported
instead.

As an example, this is the new output the safe_psql call that fails:

die: error running SQL: 'psql:<stdin>:2: ERROR:  unterminated quoted string at or near "'"
LINE 1: GRANT ALL ON sysuser_data TO scram_role '
                                                ^'
while running 'psql --no-psqlrc --no-align --tuples-only --quiet --dbname port=26578 host=/tmp/KaOjou8HJa dbname='postgres' --file - --variable ON_ERROR_STOP=1' with sql 'CREATE TABLE sysuser_data (n) AS SELECT NULL FROM generate_series(1, 10);
   GRANT ALL ON sysuser_data TO scram_role '' at /home/jelte/work/postgres-3/src/test/authentication/t/001_password.pl line 144.
Looks like your test exited with 29 just after 21.
