So, shall we change pg_regress.sh to not use Unix sockets on Solaris?

This would potentially cause problems for "make installcheck", if the
postmaster was not started with -i.  I suspect the socket problems are
only seen when many clients try to connect at the same time, so the
parallel regression tests are more prone to trouble than serial.
Perhaps for Solaris, go to TCP only if it's parallel mode?
