It is better to use `make installcheck` instead of nix-shell

Hi!

Docs say you use nix-shell to execute regression test.
But many user cannot have environment in which NixOS can be used.
Why don't we change the method to use make installcheck as in the official docs?

Hey Shinya,

Do note that Nix is independent of NixOS, you can use it on any Linux distro, MacOS/FreeBSD and even on Windows through WSL.

You mean this part right?

Hm, maybe we can put the Nix env as an alternative below the official make installcheck? WDYT?

(Personally I don't know of an easier/simpler way to test a C extension on different pg versions, Docker is too slow/pain for this)

Hey Steve,
Thank you for your reply and sorry for late.

I didn't know and use it. Thank you!

Closing this one as Nix is only a dev dependency - make installcheck can be used as usual.

Also Nix now works with M1 Macs(ARM) just by following the official guide 🎉
