Trying to `pip install psycopg2-binary==2.8.3` raised an error for a
long time. Since version `2.8.4` is recent and also seem to work I
suggest updating the requirements so other users dont run into the
following error, where pip tries to use `pg_config` for the BINARY
package:
Collecting psycopg2-binary==2.8.3 (from -r contrib/pyln-testing/requirements.txt (line 6))

Error: pg_config executable not found.
pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source. Please add the directory
containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the
option:
python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...
or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.
If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please install the PyPI
'psycopg2-binary' package instead.
For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file (also at
<http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html>).
