postgrest is shipped without DLLs it requires to run #245

@develop7

Description

@develop7

Repro:

  1. Install Windows (e.g. Win10 LTSC 2021 evaluation), install chocolatey
  2. choco install postgrest, open C:\postgrest\ in Explorer
  3. double-click postgrest.exe

Expected: a console window would blink

What happens instead: a console window opens up, but also an message box complaining the LibPQ.dll is missing

VirtualBox_win10test_27_06_2024_15_17_57

In before "why PostgREST does not ship them along with the executable" — PostgREST/postgrest#3469. TL;DR: it's not out job; we don't know where to get them canonically; EnterpriseDB (first obvious source of them) license doesn't allow to redistribute them.

UPD: sister issue in scoop — ScoopInstaller/Main#5959
