Note: We should delete `.envrc` after a transition period. If `asdf` is uninstalled but `direnv` remains active, it will complain that `use asdf` doesn't work. This emits an annoying message, but has no other harmful effects. Motivation for this rewrite: `asdf-direnv` has not been updated for the Go-rewritten version of `asdf`. This creates problems for anyone following these instructions. I originally used `asdf-direnv` because some programs (if memory serves, the `pq` gem compilation running `pg_config`) don't work when shimmed. I also preferred the speed of `$PATH` manipulation over using shim programs. The author of `asdf-direnv` stopped maintaining it months ago, since `mise` offers a similar model to `asdf` but is based on `$PATH` rather than shims. As a result, he switched to `mise`, and now so are we. There are generally fewer steps when using `mise`, but I made `DEVELOPERS.md` a bit longer to include shell activation instructions and system dependencies, so the instructions have grown slightly overall. Hopefully, this will speed up the process, since it is less necessary to visit other manual pages. Another major difference is that `mise install` tries to download and install *every* dependency, so it’s necessary to set up system dependencies first. This required some reordering and restructuring. Finally, while it was theoretically possible to manage Postgres by other means, having it in `.tool-versions` made this awkward and often painful in practice—even though the previous manual implied it should be easy. This has now been changed to use the `mise.local.toml` feature as an opt-in.
