Incorrect source directory in build instructions and build scripts
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/install-windows-full.html Description: I recently downloaded the source for PG 14, and attempted to build for windows using the instructions on this page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-windows-full.html It appears that both the documentation _and_ the build scripts (e.g. source/tools/msvc/build.pl) assume the root directory of the installation is 'src' when in fact it is 'source'. This prevents the build scripts from working (and the documentation is wrong).
