Fix regression tests to use only global names beginning with "regress_".
In commit 18555b13 we tentatively established a rule that regression tests should use names containing "regression" for databases, and names starting with "regress_" for all other globally-visible object names, so as to circumscribe the side-effects that "make installcheck" could have on an existing installation. However, no enforcement mechanism was created, so it's unsurprising that some new violations have crept in since then. In fact, a whole new *category* of violations has crept in, to wit we now also have globally-visible subscription and replication origin names, and "make installcheck" could very easily clobber user-created objects of those types. So it's past time to do something about this. This commit sanitizes the tests enough that they will pass (i.e. not generate any visible warnings) with the enforcement mechanism I'll add in the next commit. There are some TAP tests that still trigger the warnings, but the warnings do not cause test failure. Since these tests do not actually run against a pre-existing installation, there's no need to worry whether they could conflict with user-created objects. The problem with rolenames.sql testing special role names like "user" is still there, and is dealt with only very cosmetically in this patch (by hiding the warnings :-(). What we actually need to do to be safe is to take that test script out of "make installcheck" altogether, but that seems like material for a separate patch.
