Description

We use cargo pgx init --pg<version> download in some github workflows. This downloads and compiles postgres. It may be a lot faster to use the OS-packaged version of postgres instead, and then initialise pgx with cargo pgx init --pg<version> $(which pg_config).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate GitHub workflow files that use `cargo pgx init pg<version> download` and replace with `cargo pgx init pg<version> $(which pg config)` after installing the OS packaged PostgreSQL (e.g., `apt get install postgresql <version>`). Verify the change by running the workflow or checking if the build time reduces.
