Attached is an updated version of that patch. I left the name as 'running'
because a postgres- or pg- prefix felt to awkward. This just adds fairly
minimal documentation for the 'running' setup, while we now have some basic
docs for building with meson, we don't yet have a "translation" of
regress.sgml. Not sure how to structure that best, either.
I plan to commit that soon. This likely isn't the be-all-end-all, but it's
quite useful as-is.
