Context

Right now CI speed for each individual run and also when doing releases is pretty slow.

Proposal

There are a few ways we can improve it:

• Parallelize the builds per version of PG (via cargo pgrx init --pg16=download)
• Explicit caching of the pg downloads to a cached folder (right now it should cache but doesn't seem to)
• Caching for steps that are bundled together

While containers should help the build as they have embedded pre-built sources, it might be worth re-evaluating this as builds seem to still do a lot of fresh compilation.
