KentarouTakeda 5f1a92089f ext/pgsql: Update outdated PostgreSQL version requirements (#5409)
## Summary

The pgsql extension documentation references PostgreSQL versions that have been
outdated for years. The requirements page (`reference/pgsql/setup.xml`) states:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.requirements.php

> To use PostgreSQL support, you need PostgreSQL 6.5 or later,
> PostgreSQL 8.0 or later to enable all PostgreSQL module features.

However, the actual minimum libpq versions enforced by php-src are:

| PHP version | Minimum libpq | Commit |
|---|---|---|
| PHP 8.0+ | libpq 9.1 | php/php-src@ce668c0ec6 |
| PHP 8.4+ | libpq 10.0 | php/php-src#14628 |

The "PostgreSQL 6.5" requirement has been incorrect since at least PHP 8.0.0
(released 2020-11-26), which requires libpq 9.1 via `PQlibVersion` check in
`ext/pgsql/config.m4`. As of PHP 8.4, the minimum was further raised to libpq
10.0 via `PQencryptPasswordConn` check in `build/php.m4`.

## Changes

- **setup.xml**: Update requirements to match php-src, following the same
  pattern used by ext/curl and ext/openssl (per-PHP-version listing).
- **14 function pages**: Remove notes referencing PostgreSQL versions 6.3–9.0
  that are no longer relevant given the libpq 10.0 minimum. These include
  version-gated notes for `pg_prepare`, `pg_query_params`, `pg_execute`,
  `pg_escape_string`, `pg_escape_identifier`, `pg_escape_literal`,
  `pg_client_encoding`, `pg_unescape_bytea`, `pg_result_error_field`,
  `pg_parameter_status`, `pg_lo_create`, `pg_version`, `pg_affected_rows`,
  and the general `reference.xml`.

<para>
<function>pg_escape_identifier</function> escapes a identifier
(e.g. table, field names) for querying the database. It returns an
escaped identifier string for PostgreSQL
server. <function>pg_escape_identifier</function> adds double
quotes before and after data. Users should not add double
quotes. Use of this function is recommended for identifier
parameters in query. For SQL literals (i.e. parameters except
bytea), <function>pg_escape_literal</function>
or <function>pg_escape_string</function> must be used. For bytea
type fields, <function>pg_escape_bytea</function> must be used
instead.
