It is because of the "sgml_syntax_check" test in the meson build. This
test builds "postgres-full.xml" (same logic with make check) and the
build of "postgres-full.xml" has xmllint check. I could not find a way
to make this test optional like check target in the doc/src/sgml, so
the "sgml_syntax_check" test always runs.

Apart from this, I realized that there is a better way to create
"sgml_syntax_check". It was depending on "postgres-full.xml" before,
but now it directly builds the "postgres-full.xml" like "tmp_install"
test. This is addressed in the v8.

Subject: [PATCH v8] Improve docs syntax checking

Move the checks out of the Makefile into a perl script that can be
called from both the Makefile and meson.build. The set of files checked
is simplified, so it is just all the sgml and xsl files found in
docs/src/sgml directory tree.

Along the way make some adjustments to .cirrus.tasks.yml to support this
better in CI.

Also ensure that the checks are run while generating the
postgres-full.xml.
