Tom Lane 722408bcd1 Add infrastructure to support server-version-dependent tab completion.
Up to now we've not worried about whether psql's tab completion queries
would work against prior server versions.  But since we support older
server versions in describe.c, we really ought to do so here as well.
Failing to take care of this not only leads to loss of tab-completion
service when using an older server, but risks aborting a user's open
transaction when we send an incompatible query to the server.

The recent changes in pg_proc.prokind are one reason to take this more
seriously now than before, and the proposed patch for completion after
SELECT needs some such capability as well.

Hence, create some infrastructure to allow selection of one of several
versions of a query depending on server version.  For cases where we
just need to select one of several query strings, introduce VersionedQuery
and COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_QUERY().  Likewise extend the SchemaQuery
infrastructure to allow versioning of those.

I went ahead and fixed the prokind issues, to serve as an illustration
of how to use versioned SchemaQuery.  To have some illustration of
VersionedQuery, change the support for completion of publication and
subscription names so that psql will not send sure-to-fail queries to
pre-v10 servers.  There is much more that should be done to make tab
completion more friendly to older servers, but this commit is mainly
meant to get the infrastructure in place, so I stopped here.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
