Hi Pavel,

Extensions shouldn't necessarily be built using the same build system
as the PG core. I can build PG using Meson and then install a 3rd
party extension using `make install && make installcheck`. In other
words, we can stop supporting Autotools for building the core without
affecting extensions. Unless I'm missing something, of course.
