regress-run would be a nicer fit in the long run, where it seems to me
that the existing documentation is wrong with its decision to document
the regression tests that can be run in meson in a section for the
build and install:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-meson.html#INSTALL-PROCEDUR=
E-MESON

The format that we use for the coverage code is something I find
pretty clear:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/regress-coverage.html

We have two sub-sections, one for configure/make and one meson, which
is nice.  Perhaps we don't need to have new sub-sections, limiting
ourselves to mention some of the equivalents that can be used with
meson?
