Please find attached v12 that:

- sets "capture" to "false"
- adds the --code and --docs extra options to generate-wait_event_types.pl
- makes sure at least one of those option is provided
- makes sure that both options can't be provided simultaneously
- update the related Makefile/meson.build files accordingly
- fix a bug in generate-wait_event_types.pl (die on rename($stmp...) was not
using the right file (it was using ctmp). That was not visible before the docs/code
split.

Not related to this patch but I noticed that when building with meson some c files
are duplicated a the end of the build.

Indeed, they also appear in some include directories:

./meson_build/src/include/storage/lwlocknames.c
./meson_build/src/include/utils/pgstat_wait_event.c
./meson_build/src/include/utils/fmgrtab.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/queryjumblefuncs.funcs.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/readfuncs.switch.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/readfuncs.funcs.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/copyfuncs.switch.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/equalfuncs.funcs.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/outfuncs.switch.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/queryjumblefuncs.switch.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/copyfuncs.funcs.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/equalfuncs.switch.c
./meson_build/src/include/nodes/outfuncs.funcs.c

Is it expected? If not, I guess it's worth another patch.
