Re: Heads Up: cirrus-ci is shutting down June 1st

Hi, I just pushed this to github to see how it would behave.  In case
anyone is curious, the run is here,

https://github.com/alvherre/postgres/actions/runs/26591496806

Overall I get the impression that it's much slower than Cirrus.  20
minutes in, only the two "Linux - Meson" build finished, in 14 and 17
minutes respectively.  Macos took 10 minutes just for the macports
install!  Cirrus completed the same build in 18:32,
https://cirrus-ci.com/build/4817054382948352

If I read the Github docs correctly, I get 2000 run minutes for free
each month.  That would mean I can run at most some ... 15 runs per
month?  That sounds quite limiting.  I hope we allow self-hosted runners
at some point; I have quite a bit of spare CPU capacity at home that I
could run the Linux and CompilerWarnings tasks on, leaving the Github
machines to run only the macOS and Windows ones.
