log_statement = all is the part biting here.  It does not seem like
we'd lose a lot of context even if this is made less verbose.

Something like 80~85% of the bloat comes from the diffs in your case.
Well, it is always possible to limit that to an arbitrary amount of
characters (say 50k~100k?) to still give some context, and dump the
whole in a different file outside the log/ path (aka tmp_check/), so
that the buildfarm would show a minimum amount of information, while
local failures would still have an access to everything.

Do you have any preferences?
