Check availability of module injection_points in TAP tests

This fixes defects with installcheck for TAP tests that expect the
module injection_points to exist in an installation, but the contents of
src/test/modules are not installed by default with installcheck.  This
would cause, for example, failures under installcheck-world for a build
with injection points enabled, when the contents of src/test/modules/
are not installed.

The availability of the module can be done with a scan of
pg_available_extension.  This has been introduced in 2cdcae9da696, and
it is refactored here as a new routine in Cluster.pm.

Tests are changed in different ways depending on what they need:
- The libpq TAP test sets up a node even without injection points, so it
is enough to check that CREATE EXTENSION can be used.  There is no need
for the variable enable_injection_points.
- In test_misc, 006_signal_autovacuum requires a runtime check.
- 041_checkpoint_at_promote in recovery tests and 005_timeouts in
test_misc are updated to use the routine introduced in Cluster.pm.
- test_slru's 001_multixact, injection_points's 001_stats and
modules/gin/ do not require a check as these modules disable
installcheck entirely.
