The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Since 19252e8ec9 we reject Python 2 during build configuration. Now that the
dust on the buildfarm has settled, remove Python 2 specific code, including
the "Python 2/3 porting layer".
The code to detect conflicts between plpython using Python 2 and 3 is not
removed, in case somebody creates an out-of-tree version adding back support
for Python 2.

Add infinities that behave the same as they do in the floating-point
data types. Aside from any intrinsic usefulness these may have,
this closes an important gap in our ability to convert floating
values to numeric and/or replace float-based APIs with numeric.
The new values are represented by bit patterns that were formerly
not used (although old code probably would take them for NaNs).
So there shouldn't be any pg_upgrade hazard.

Very recent gcc complains that PLyObject_ToJsonbValue could return
a pointer to a local variable. I think it's wrong; but the coding
is fragile enough, and the savings of one palloc() minimal enough,
that it seems better to just do a palloc() all the time. (My other
idea of tweaking the if-condition doesn't suppress the warning.)
Back-patch to v11 where this code was introduced.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.
By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to
resolve when they still occur.

This gives an alternative way of catching exceptions, for the common
case where the cleanup code is the same in the error and non-error
cases. So instead of
PG_TRY();
{
... code that might throw ereport(ERROR) ...
}
PG_CATCH();
{
cleanup();
PG_RE_THROW();
}
PG_END_TRY();
cleanup();
one can write
PG_TRY();
{

}
PG_FINALLY();
{
cleanup();
}
PG_END_TRY();

The basic rule we follow here is to always first include 'postgres.h' or
'postgres_fe.h' whichever is applicable, then system header includes and
then Postgres header includes. In this, we also follow that all the
Postgres header includes are in order based on their ASCII value. We
generally follow these rules, but the code has deviated in many places.
This commit makes it consistent just for contrib modules. The later
commits will enforce similar rules in other parts of code.

Fix some places where we might fail to do Py_DECREF() on a Python
object (thereby leaking it for the rest of the session). Almost
all of the risks were in error-recovery paths, which we don't really
expect to hit anyway. Hence, while this is definitely a bug fix,
it doesn't quite seem worth back-patching.

PyObject returned from PySequence_GetItem() is not released. Similar code in PLyMapping_ToJsonbValue() is correct, because according to Python documentation
PyList_GetItem() and PyTuple_GetItem() return a borrowed reference while
PySequence_GetItem() returns new reference. contrib/jsonb_plpython is new
in PostgreSQL 11, no backpatch is needed.

As in e348e7ae57 for jsonb/plperl, prevent
putting a NaN into a jsonb numeric field.
Tests for this had been removed in
6278a2a262, but in case they are ever
resurrected: This would change the output of the test1nan() function to
an error.
Failure to use DatumGetFoo/FooGetDatum macros correctly, or at all,
causes some warnings about sign conversion. This is just cosmetic
at the moment but in principle it's a type violation, so clean up
the instances I could find.
autoprewarm.c and sharedfileset.c contained code that unportably
assumed that pid_t is the same size as int. We've variously dealt
with this by casting pid_t to int or to unsigned long for printing
purposes; I went with the latter.
Fix uninitialized-variable warning in RestoreGUCState. This is
a live bug in some sense, but of no great significance given that
nobody is very likely to care what "line number" is associated with
a GUC that hasn't got a source file recorded.
We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

These tests don't work reliably with pre-2.6 Python versions, since
Python code like float('inf') was not guaranteed to work before that,
even granting an IEEE-compliant platform.
Since there's no explicit handling of these cases in jsonb_plpython,
we're not adding any real code coverage by testing them, and thus
it doesn't seem to make sense to go to any great lengths to work
around the test instability.
