DESCRIPTION: Drops PG14 support
1. Remove "$version_num" != 'xx' from configure file
2. delete all PG_VERSION_NUM = PG_VERSION_XX references in the code
3. Look at pg_version_compat.h file, remove all _compat functions etc
defined specifically for PGXX differences
4. delete all PG_VERSION_NUM >= PG_VERSION_(XX+1), PG_VERSION_NUM <
PG_VERSION_(XX+1) ifs in the codebase
5. delete ruleutils_xx.c file
6. cleanup normalize.sed file from pg14 specific lines
7. delete all alternative output files for that particular PG version,
server_version_ge variable helps here
PG17 compatibility - Part 2
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/7699 was the first PG17
compatibility PR merged to main branch, which provided ONLY successful
Citus compilation with PG17.0.
This PR, consider it as Part 2, provides ruleutils changes for PG17.
Ruleutils changes is the first thing we should merge, after successful
build. It's the core for deparsing logic in Citus.
# Question: How do we add ruleutils changes?
- We add a new ruleutils file specific to PG17.
- We keep track of the changes in Postgres's ruleutils file from here
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commits/REL_17_0/src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c
- Per each commit in that history that belongs only to 17.0, we add the
relevant changes to static functions to our ruleutils file for PG17.
It's like a manual commit copying.
