Обсуждение: Format list of catalog files in makefile vertically

I propose to reformat the catalog lists in src/backend/catalog/Makefile 
to be more vertical, one per line.  This makes it easier to keep that 
list in sync with src/include/catalog/meson.build, and visually compare 
both lists.  Also, it's easier to read and edit in general.

In passing, I'd also copy over some relevant comments from the makefile 
to meson.build.  For the hypothetical future when we delete the 
makefiles, these comments seem worth keeping.  (For fun, I tested 
whether the comments are still true, and yes, the order still matters.)

Makes sense to me.
