Buildfarm setup for AIX

Hi Team,

Here are few updates on the buildfarm setup for AIX.
We got a latest Power9 node in OSU lab dedicated for Postgres community development activity.

In the last couple of weeks, we have setup the buildfarm on a node in OSU lab for all the supported versions of Postgres on AIX(13/14/15/16).

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_13_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_14_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_15_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_16_STABLE

For other latest releases(17/18/master) we are planning to run them locally on our node.

Currently we are seeing some issues in the TAP test for REL_16.

These tests were passing on other buildfarms (animals) , trying to debug if there are any environment specific issues.

I think we need more info. Let's have a look at the regress_log_001_password file.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for looking into this.
 
Attached are the log files, regress_log_001_password and 001_password_primary.log
 
This is the error I see in the regress_log_001_password file. 
 
    server started
    # Postmaster PID for node "primary" is 15663422

One additional script seems to be running on other animal(hornet) while running this test.

Please let me know if there is anything missing in the build environment.
