I agree we should add tests, my main problem is log output contains duration
information:

postgres=# select 1;
LOG:  duration: 0.539 ms  statement: select 1;

I did not find any test for log_min_duration that could help me. LCOV indicate
there is no tests on this part (look check_log_duration()):
https://coverage.postgresql.org/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c.gcov.html

I will look how to test this properly with test infrastructure. Maybe a simple
regex to remove duration part will be enough.
