make maintainer-check was obscure and rarely called in practice, and
many breakages were missed.  Fold everything that make maintainer-check
used to do into the normal build.  Specifically:

- Call duplicate_oids when genbki.pl is called.

- Check for tabs in SGML files when the documentation is built.

- Run msgfmt with the -c option during the regular build.  Add an
  additional configure check to see whether we are using the GNU
  version.  (make maintainer-check probably used to fail with non-GNU
  msgfmt.)

Keep maintainer-check as around as phony target for the time being in
case anyone is calling it.  But it won't do anything anymore.

This is for convenience, now that adding recursive targets is much
easier than it used to be when the NLS stuff was initially added.

This fixes failures under parallel make when contrib modules use a
generated backend header file (such as errcodes.h).

Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.

Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.

Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.

Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".

This can do various source code checks that are not appropriate for
either the build or the regression tests.  Currently: duplicate_oids,
SGML syntax and tabs check, NLS syntax check.

Also add make check-world target, and refactor pg_regress invocation
code in makefiles a bit.

Replace for loops in makefiles with proper dependencies.  Parallel
make can now span across directories.  Also, make -k and make -q work
properly.

GNU make 3.80 or newer is now required.

A proposed patch will require GNU make 3.80 or newer.  We will let this patch
run for a while to see how much damage that would do to the buildfarm.

It is no longer installed by default, but included in "make world"/"make
install-world".  Documentation updated accordingly.

Also, fix vpathsearch function to work when calling make install-docs
without previous make docs.

Add new make targets "world", "install-world" and "installcheck-world" to build, install and check just about everything.
In addition to everything built installed and tested by all, install and installcheck targets, these build HTML Docs,
build and test contrib, and test PLs and ECPG.

Documentation files in HTML and man formats are now prepared for
distribution using the distprep make target, like everything else.  They
are placed in doc/src/sgml/html and manX and installed from there by
make install, if present.  The business with the tarballs in the tarball
is gone.

Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend.  In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.

This turned out to be much easier than feared.  Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS.  MSVC build fix was attempted as well.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

can't mix and match .gz and .bz2 in here ... won't build

seeing if building bz2 distributions actually works ...

remove src/data from target list

python needs to be removed from here
