It's weird to have the core regression tests depending on contrib
code, and coverage testing shows that those test queries add nothing
to the core-code coverage of the core tests. So pull those test bits
out and put them into ordinary test scripts inside contrib/spi/,
making that more like other contrib modules.
Aside from being structurally nicer, anything we can take out of the
core tests (which are executed multiple times per check-world run)
and put into tests executed only once should be a win. It doesn't
look like this change will buy a whole lot of milliseconds, but a
cycle saved is a cycle earned.
Also, there is some discussion around possibly removing refint and/or
autoinc altogether. I don't know if that will happen, but we'd
certainly need to decouple them from the core tests to do so.
The tests for autoinc were quite intertwined with the undocumented
"ttdummy" trigger in regress.c. That made the tests very hard to
understand and contributed nothing to autoinc's testing either.
So I just deleted ttdummy and rewrote the autoinc tests without it.
I realized while doing this that the description of autoinc in
the SGML docs is not a great description of what the function
actually does, so the patch includes some updates to those docs.

Install the example files from contrib/spi/, to match makefiles.

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.
