Here it is. First I tried this using ordinary regression
framework but the effect of this patch is shown only in log and
it contains variable parts so I gave up it before trying more
complex way.

Next I tried existing TAP test but this test needs continuous
session to achieve alternating operation on two sessions but
PostgresNode::psql doesn't offer such a functionality.

Finally, I added a new TAP test library PsqlSession. It offers
interactive psql sessions. Then added a simple test to
postgres_fdw using it.

The first patch is the PsqlSession.pm and the second is the new
test for postgres_fdw.

- The current PsqlSession is quite fragile but seems working enough for this usage at the present.

- I'm afraid this might not work on Windows according to the manpage of IPC::Run, but I haven't confirmed yet.
