The meson build scripts attempt to find files left over from configure
and fail, mentioning that "make maintainer-clean" should be run to remove
these. This seems to have been done for files generated from configure.
pg_config_paths.h is generated during the actual make build, so seems to
have been missed. This would result in compilation using the wrong
pg_config_paths.h file.
Here we just add this file to generated_sources_ac so that meson errors
out if pg_config_paths.h exists.
Likely this wasn't noticed before because make maintainer-clean will
remove pg_config_paths.h, however, people using the MSVC build scripts
are more likely to run into issues and they have to manually remove
these files and pg_config_paths.h wasn't listed as a conflicting file to
remove in the meson log.
Backpatch-through: 16, where meson support was added
