Exporting PGINTERVALSTYLE causes errors of the following kind when
connecting to an older server version:

psql: FATAL: unrecognized configuration parameter "intervalstyle"

Should the processing of this variable be made conditional upon the
server version?

(What is the use case for this variable anyway? Is it there just
because PGDATESTYLE was there previously?)
