CI: Leave out unnecessary build files from binary artifact (#9135)

The pg_install/build directory contains .o files and such intermediate results from the build, which are not needed in the final tarball. Except for src/test/regress/regress.so and a few other .so files in that directory; keep those. This reduces the size of the neon-Linux-X64-release-artifact.tar.zst artifact from about 1.5 GB to 700 MB. (I attempted this a long time ago already, by moving the build/ directory out of pg_install altogether, see PR #2127. But I never got around to finish that work.)
