pgsql: Introduce frontend API able to retrieve the contents of PG_VERSI

Introduce frontend API able to retrieve the contents of PG_VERSION

get_pg_version() is able to return a version number, that can be used
for comparisons based on PG_VERSION_NUM. A macro is added to convert
the result to a major version number, to work with PG_MAJORVERSION_NUM.

It is possible to pass to the routine an optional argument, where the
contents retrieved from PG_VERSION are saved. This requirement matters
for some of the frontend code (one example: pg_upgrade wants that for
tablespace paths with a version number strictly older than v10).

This will be used by a set of follow-up patches, to be consumed in
various frontend tools that duplicate a logic similar to do what this
new routine does, like:
- pg_resetwal
- pg_combinebackup
- pg_createsubscriber
- pg_upgrade

This routine supports both the post-v10 version number and the older
flavor (aka 9.6), as required at least by pg_upgrade.
