It appears no longer possible to build the SGML docs without a local installation of the DocBook DTD, because sourceforge.net now only permits HTTPS access, and no common version of xsltproc supports that. Hence, remove the bits of our documentation suggesting that that's possible or useful. In fact, we might as well add the --nonet option to the build recipes automatically, for a bit of extra security. Also fix our documentation-tool-installation recipes for macOS to ensure that xmllint and xsltproc are pulled in from MacPorts or Homebrew. The previous recipes assumed you could use the Apple-supplied versions of these tools; which still works, except that you'd need to set an environment variable to ensure that they would find DTD files provided by those package managers. Simpler and easier to just recommend pulling in the additional packages. In HEAD, also document how to build docs using Meson, and adjust "ninja docs" to just build the HTML docs, for consistency with the default behavior of doc/src/sgml/Makefile. In a fit of neatnik-ism, I also made the ordering of the package lists match the order in which the tools are described at the head of the appendix.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
