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 PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
