    Change qr/foo$/m to qr/foo\n/m, for Perl 5.8.8. · 650b9670

    In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a
    PostgreSQL bug.  Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests.
    This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing
    src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version.  Commit
    e7293e32 worked around the bug, but the
    subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code.  As that
    commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress
    the bug.  This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter
    the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated
    pattern changes.  Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced.
    
    As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl
    5.8.8.  The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch
    that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 4.4 is affected.
