In depth guide to Postgres’ new CI

" summary

Explains how Postgres CI uses Cirrus CI to run regression suites across platforms (available on PG16 availability), the exact enablement steps: fork the repo, install Cirrus from GitHub Marketplace, grant repo access and add .cirrus.yml. Shows live debugging via Cirrus terminal to connect to the runner, demonstrates fixing a FreeBSD Kerberos failure by locating missing kdb5_util under /usr/local/sbin and pushing a fix, and recommends using on_failure with artifact collection to capture logs only on failures.
