Hey!

Nice work organizing the docs. Looks pretty good. I had a single comment
regarding the Meson docs in general.

It seems like Postgres cares a bit about Windows/Mac development. Is
ninja the blessed way to build Postgres on Windows and Mac? Otherwise, I
would suggest just being more generic and replace instances of `ninja
xxx` in the docs with `meson compile xxx`, making the command
backend-agnostic to accomodate XCode and VS project users.
