Comment (by strk):

 The variable is documented in output of `regress/run_test.pl` when called
 without arguments, togheter with POSTGIS_REGRESS_ROLE_EXT_CREATOR

 It still takes superuser to tweak the `lc_messages` setting, the variable
 is only needed to TEST unprivileged user creating and using postgis WHEN
 the database allows to do so to unprivileged users.. (it takes a
 PostgreSQL module to allow that).

 Allowing non-superusers accounts to create the PostGIS extension would
 require a change on our side to mark the extension as trusted, as
 requested by #5567 (which was closed as a won't fix)
