Tom Lane	1fd3dd2048	Add bt_multi_page_stats() function to contrib/pageinspect. This is like the existing bt_page_stats() function, but it can report on a range of pages rather than just one at a time. I don't have a huge amount of faith in the portability of the new test cases, but they do pass in a 32-bit FreeBSD VM here. Further adjustment may be needed depending on buildfarm results.

Tom Lane	aeaaf520f4	Mark pageinspect's disk-accessing functions as parallel restricted. These functions have been marked parallel safe, but the buildfarm's response to commit `e2933a6e1` exposed the flaw in that thinking: if you try to use them on a temporary table, and they run inside a parallel worker, they'll fail with "cannot access temporary tables during a parallel operation". Fix that by marking them parallel restricted instead. Maybe someday we'll have a better answer and can reverse this decision. Back-patch to v15. To go back further, we'd have to devise variant versions of pre-1.10 pageinspect versions. Given the lack of field complaints, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. We'll just deem this case unsupported pre-v15. (If anyone does complain, it might be good enough to update the markings manually in their DBs.)

Andres Freund	902ab2fcef	meson: Add windows resource files 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.

Andres Freund	e6927270cd	meson: Add initial version of meson based build system 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.
