Clang 16 is still in development, but seawasp reveals that it has
started warning about many of our casts of function pointers (those
introduced by commit 1c27d16e, and some older ones). Disable the new
warning for now, since otherwise buildfarm animal seawasp fails, and we
have no current plans to change our strategy for these callback function
types.
May be back-patched with other Clang/LLVM 16 changes around release
time.

Previously the host operating system and 32/64 bit were not included and the
build machine's cpu was used, which is potentially wrong for cross builds.

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.

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.

There likely are further issues, but as evidenced by the CI task proposed by
Justin in the referenced thread, this suffices to build and run basic tests in
cygwin (some fixes for the test infrastructure are needed, but that's
independent of the meson aspect).

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.

I (Andres) missed a few recent changes to configure when merging
e6927270cd "meson: Add initial version of meson based build system". Mirror
the changes in
- ec3c9cc202 "Add definition pg_attribute_aligned() for MSVC"
- b086a47a27 "Bump minimum version of Bison to 2.3"
- 8b878bffa8 "Bump minimum version of Flex to 2.5.35"
As MSVC does not implement 128 bit integers, the oversight of not using
pg_attribute_aligned() should not have current practical consequences. But of
course the code from c.h should still be correctly mirrored.
I (Andres) also hadn't implemented the minimum perl version check. Added that
now.

Since cd4e8caaa, we've been able to build the source tree with
-Wshadow=compatible-local without any warnings. Lots of work was done by
Justin Pryzby and I (David) to get all our code to compile warning free
with that flag. In that process, 2 bugs (16d69ec29 and af7d270dd) were
discovered and fixed. Additionally, "git log --grep=shadow" shows that
there is no shortage of other bugs that have been fixed over the years
which were caused by variable shadowing.
In light of the above, it seems very much worthwhile to add at least
-Wshadow=compatible-local to our standard compilation flags. We *may*
want to go further and take this to -Wshadow=local in the future, but
we're not ready for that today, so let's add -Wshadow=compatible-local now
to help make sure we don't introduce further local variable shadowing.

This substantially speeds up building for windows, due to the vast amount of
headers included via windows.h. A cross build from linux targetting mingw goes
from
994.11user 136.43system 0:31.58elapsed 3579%CPU
to
422.41user 89.05system 0:14.35elapsed 3562%CPU
The wins on windows are similar-ish (but I don't have a system at hand just
now for actual numbers). Targetting other operating systems the wins are far
smaller (tested linux, macOS, FreeBSD).
For now precompiled headers are disabled by default, it's not clear how well
they work on all platforms. E.g. on FreeBSD gcc doesn't seem to have working
support, but clang does.
When doing a full build precompiled headers are only beneficial for targets
with multiple .c files, as meson builds a separate precompiled header for each
target (so that different compilation options take effect). This commit
therefore only changes target with at least two .c files to use precompiled
headers.
Because this commit adds b_pch=false to the default_options new build
directories will have precompiled headers disabled by default, however
existing build directories will continue use the default value of b_pch, which
is true.
Note that using precompiled headers with ccache requires setting
CCACHE_SLOPPINESS=pch_defines,time_macros to get hits.

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.

Improvements:

- the .pc file contents for a static libpq were wrong (referencing
{pgport, common}_shlib)
- incidentally fixes meson not supporting link_whole on AIX yet
- added explanatory comments
Previously I tried to avoid building libpq's sources twice, once for the
static and once for the shared library. We could still do so, but it's not
clear that it's worth the complication.

autoconf set PREFIX to /usr/local/pgsql, so using the same default for meson
makes sense. The effect on windows is that installation defaults to installing
to C:/usr/local/pgsql rather than meson's default of C:/, which doesn't seem
perfect, but OK enough.

Previously some paths (like c:\ or d:/) worked, but plenty others (like
/path/to or //computer/share/path) didn't. As we'd like to change the default
prefix to /usr/local/pgsql, that's a problem.
Instead of trying to do this in meson.build, call out to the implementation
meson install uses. This isn't pretty, but it's more reliable than what we had
before.

I hadn't ported -Wl,--disable-auto-import over from the win32 template as I
had focused on msvc for windows. The flag is desirable as it makes it easier
to find problems one would have with msvc, particularly useful during cross
compilation.
This turned out to be a somewhat happy accident, as it allowed me to realize
that readline actually works on windows these days, as long as auto imports to
enable. Therefore enable auto-import again as part of linking to readline.
We perhaps can come up with a better solution for the readline issue, but this
seems good enough for now.

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

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.
