fix: support cases when user-provided queries have 'returning'

This change includes: drop v2 protocol support, and query parsing refactoring.
Currently query parse cache is still per-connection, however "returningColumNames"
are part of cache key, thus the parse cache can be made global.

This fixes #488 (see org.postgresql.test.jdbc3.GeneratedKeysTest)

This commit does remove all files in
pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/core/v2/, leaving only "v3/".
