xenial (16.04) is a LTS release with support until 2021-04, and the
current plan was to support it. I now realize that's semi-close to the
13 release date, but so far we have tried to really support all
PG-Distro combinations.

I could probably arrange for that test to be disabled when building
for xenial, but it'd be nice if there were a configure switch or
environment variable for it so we don't have to invent it.

It has been failing with the same output since Jan 2, 2020, noon.

The only git change in that build was d207038053837 "Fix running out
