Under a normal Homebrew install of postgres it is not running. If you look
at `brew info postgresql` you will see at the end:

"To load postgresql:
  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
  postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres"

I don't see anything in QGIS/ci/travis/osx that indicates postgres is being
spun up, i.e.:

/usr/local/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres

Regarding the GRASS provider tests, I can redo the grass-64 builds so that
there are fresh 'bottles' (compiled binary installs) for quick loading.
Then GRASS is only a ~20 MB download and its tests can be run. Likewise,
GRASS7 ends up only 24 MB. I can work on these bits as needed. I'm away
from my build server (where I generate the bottles) today, though.
