v0.12.0-beta.5

pgrx 0.12.0-beta.5 will likely be the final¹ beta release and we will be releasing 0.12.0 based on this code with almost no variation if no unpleasant surprises are discovered.

Misc Changes

• Some doc fixes from @SteveLauC, thank you!
• A number of FFI headers:
  • add bindings of syslogger.h by @usamoi in #1783
  • Add bindings for 'tcop/pquery.h' and 'commands/copy.h' header files by @aykut-bozkurt in #1786
  • Include pg_seclabel catalog by @daamien in #1787
  • Add bindings for 'jit/jit.h' and 'utils/resowner_private.h' header files by @jeltz in #1790

Postgres 17 beta3 support

Thanks to @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1790 we now have support for Postgres 17's beta3 release. This will be updated to whatever's actually current before we release 0.12.0 proper.

New bindgen settings

For this release, I extensively reworked our CI to make new releases easier and faster, by validating that the build problems that occurred for the pgrx 0.12.0-beta.0 release never happen again. This involved splitting out our bindgen-running code into its own crate, which you will see in your dependency tree, though you should never have a reason to explicitly depend on it. Now we test that the pgrx workspace always can be packaged in CI, and we verify that code on publishing.

As part of this I also did some additional tuning on our bindgen settings in #1804 so that it now generates &CStr for appropriate constants (same content as the &[u8] you may have used before).
