I just hacked up an updated version with the following things:
- Optional argument for stop_node to define the stop mode of pg_ctl
- Addition of wait_for_node where pg_isready is used to wait until a
node is ready to accept queries
- Addition of a local lookup variable to track the last port assigned.
This accelerates get_free_port.
