Hm, a 0.2% increase ... sounds marginal.

The other two increases are more interesting, but if the code is already
covered by ssl/ldap/kerberos, then the checktcp test isn't buying much there
either.

So the script has this:

make -j12
make -j12 -C contrib
make -j12 -Otarget check-world PG_TEST_EXTRA="ssl ldap kerberos"
make -C src/interfaces/ecpg/test checktcp
make coverage-html

I mentioned in https://postgr.es/m/20190530202311.GA22421@alvherre.pgsql
that ecpg coverage was bad, and that it increased with "checktcp".  I
didn't quote exactly what was the change, though :-(

If what this test mode adds is really just a 0.2% increase, then that
doesn't seem worth the risk.  I think the only extra test it runs is
connect/test1.
