Also "make reformat-dat-files".
The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.
Handle the situation where perl swaps the order of operands of
the comparison operator. See `perldoc overload` for details:
The third argument is set to TRUE if (and only if) the two
operands have been swapped. Perl may do this to ensure that the
first argument ($self) is an object implementing the overloaded
operation, in line with general object calling conventions.
As well as 'devel' version_stamp.pl provides for 'alphaN'
'betaN' and 'rcN', so teach PostgresVersion about those.
Also stash the version string instead of trying to reconstruct it during
stringification.

A new PostgresVersion object type is created and this is used in
PostgresNode using the output of `pg_config --version` and the result
stored in the PostgresNode object. This object can be compared to other
PostgresVersion objects, or to a number or string.
PostgresNode is currently believed to be compatible with versions down
to release 12, so PostgresNode will issue a warning if used with a
version prior to that.
No attempt has been made to deal with incompatibilities in older
versions - that remains work to be undertaken in a subsequent
development cycle.
Based on code from Mark Dilger and Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais.
