I figured this out, Travis is using, for the PostgreSQL server,
the one built as Docker image from tests/testdata/Dockerfile-postgis
which is based on kartoza/postgis:11.0-2.5 from docker hub
(sourced at https://github.com/kartoza/docker-postgis)

The docker image from kartoza does not include pointcloud.

A docker image with pointcloud would be oslandia/pggis which
is sourced in Vincent's github space:
https://github.com/vpicavet/docker-pggis
That one is more generally aimed at being a "gis" oriented
database, but was not touched for 4 years, so not sure it is
a good candidate.

Vincent (in Cc): are you still interested in maintaining
that project ? I see a pr from you is pending since June,
and is adding PostgreSQL 11 and PostGIS 2.5, as the ones
QGIS currently uses from the kartoza image...

I've given Vincent's image a try as part of my PR
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/33118
