Andres Freund	caeeabd110	meson: mingw: Allow multiple definitions ... I didn't carry this forward from the win32 template. It's not needed anymore for the reason stated therein, but it turns out to be required to e.g. override getopt. Possibly a better solution exists, but that's for later.

Andres Freund	e3a892539b	meson: windows: Normalize slashes in prefix ... This fixes a build issue on windows, when the prefix is set to a path with forward slashes. Windows python defaults to a path with a backslash, but mingw ucrt python defaults to a forward slash. This in turn lead to a wrong PATH set during tests, causing tests to fail.

Andres Freund	a1860071b3	meson: Set up absolute rpaths to libdir ... While I (Andres) had planned to use relative rpaths, it looks like agreeing on the precise path might take a bit. So set up absolute rpaths for now. I'm pushing this fairly quickly after posting the patch as several hackers fought with this issue.

Andres Freund	1330dcdec0	meson: Include CFLAGS/c_args in summary and pg_config output ... Previously arguments passed in via CFLAGS/-Dc_args were neither displayed in meson's summary, nor in pg_config's output.

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. Some initial help for postgres developers is at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson With contributions from Thomas Munro, John Naylor, Stone Tickle and others.
