Andres Freund	d3b111e320	Add option to specify segment size in blocks ... The tests don't have much coverage of segment related code, as we don't create large enough tables. To make it easier to test these paths, add a new option specifying the segment size in blocks. Set the new option to 6 blocks in one of the CI tasks. Smaller numbers currently fail one of the tests, for understandable reasons. While at it, fix some segment size related issues in the meson build.

Andres Freund	5bdd0cfb91	meson: Add basic PGXS compatibility ... Generate a Makefile.global that's complete enough for PGXS to work for some extensions. It is likely that this compatibility layer will not suffice for every extension and not all platforms - we can expand it over time. This allows extensions to use a single buildsystem across all the supported postgres versions. Once all supported PG versions support meson, we can remove the compatibility layer.

Peter Eisentraut	c8e4030d1b	Make finding openssl program a configure or meson option ... Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup. There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used, other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have different capabilities and do different things by default. This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup, with appropriate ways to override it. This is similar to how "lz4" and "zstd" are handled, for example. The meson build system actually already did this, but the result was only used in some places. This is now applied more uniformly.

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.
