commit    06c70849fb26ac431a722b1d10cffe1c65e728a4
Author:   Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
Date:     Fri Nov 17 18:23:02 2023 +0000
First released in: 17.0

    docs: Document --with-selinux/-Dselinux options centrally
    
    Previously --with-selinux was documented only in the in the sepgsql
    documentation and there was no corresponding documentation for meson. There
    are further improvements that could be made, but this change seems worthwhile
    even on its own.
