To define our own install target, we need dependencies on the i18n targets, which we did not collect so far. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3fc3bb9b-f7f8-d442-35c1-ec82280c564a@enterprisedb.com

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.

This reverts commit 617d69141220f277170927e03a19d2f1b77aed77. While I still think the basic idea is attractive, we need to sort out what happens with built .c files, and there also seem to be VPATH issues.
The backend already used a mechanically-generated list of *.c files, but everywhere else we had a manually-written-out list of files in which to seek translatable messages. Commit b0a55e432 contains the latest in a long line of failures to update those lists. Rather than manually fix its oversight, let's change to using "$(wildcard *.c)" in all these nls.mk files. Many of these files also have manual references to some *.c files in other directories, most often src/common/. Perhaps we should try to improve that situation too; but it's a bit less clear how, so for now just fix the local file references.

This moves the list of available languages from nls.mk into a separate file called po/LINGUAS. Advantages: - It keeps the parts notionally managed by programmers (nls.mk) separate from the parts notionally managed by translators (LINGUAS). - It's the standard practice recommended by the Gettext manual nowadays. - The Meson build system also supports this layout (and of course doesn't know anything about our custom nls.mk), so this would enable sharing the list of languages between the two build systems. (The MSVC build system currently finds all po files by globbing, so it is not affected by this change.)

The Config and Cwd modules were no longer used, but remained imported, in a number of tests. Remove to keep the imports to the actually used modules. Reviewed-by: Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/A5A074CD-3198-492B-BE5E-7961EFC3733F@yesql.se
