PostgreSQL. In a browser. FTW.

build instructions (work in progress)

notes

• At this time, postgres runs using the older buildroot release (the default setup for browser-vm)
• Switching to the latest buildroot (2022.05.1) compiles the v86-linux.iso file and the iso includes postgres, but postgres crashes with a segfault on startup
• Additional changes may need to be made to the buildroot-v86 folder before building this, or we need some other changes in menuconfig??
