Tom Lane 3b8f6e75f3 Fix partial-build problems introduced by having more generated headers.
Commit 372728b0d created some problems for usages like building a
subdirectory without having first done "make all" at the top level,
or for proceeding directly to "make install" without "make all".
The only reasonably clean way to fix this seems to be to force the
submake-generated-headers rule to fire in *any* "make all" or "make
install" command anywhere in the tree.  To avoid lots of redundant work,
as well as parallel make jobs possibly clobbering each others' output, we
still need to be sure that the rule fires only once in a recursive build.
For that, adopt the same MAKELEVEL hack previously used for "temp-install".
But try to document it a bit better.

The submake-errcodes mechanism previously used in src/port/ and src/common/
is subsumed by this, so we can get rid of those special cases.  It was
inadequate for src/common/ anyway after the aforesaid commit, and it always
risked parallel attempts to build errcodes.h.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
