Announcing Release 12 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

At long last I have just pushed Release 12 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm
client. It's been about 16 months since the last release.

Apart from some minor fixes and code tidy up. this includes the
following more notable changes:

* the TextUpgradeXVersion module is brought up to date with various
core code changes
* a module-neutral, animal-based save mechanism replaces the bespoke
mechanism that was implemented in TestUpgradeXVersion. This will
enable future development like testing openssl builds against NSS
builds etc.
* a standardized way of accumulating log files is implemented. This
will enable some planned server side improvements.
* requests are now signed using SHA256 nstead of SHA1.
* there is a separate config section for settings to be used with
valgrind. This makes it easier to turn valgrind on or off.
* typedefs detection is improved for OSX
* there is a setting for additional docs build targets, in addition to
the standard html target.
* use of the configure "accache" is made substantially more robust
* timed out processes are more verbose
