This creates a separate libpq package as discussed in #61580 (comment).

This brings down the number of rebuilds after updating postgresql to about 1.2k darwin and 2.5k linux. Before, they were ~ around 5k, IIRC.

Unfortunately, we are still not anywhere low enough to be able to merge postgresql updates directly into master. I think the nr. 1 reason for that is postgresqlTestHook - and the fact that many packages use a very simple postgresql server in their build dependencies for the check phase.

The only way to get the number of rebuilds lower would be to package postgresqlTestHook as a separate postgresql derivation. The idea would be, that security related issues are irrelevant for the check phase of other packages - and thus updating this separately could easily go through staging with a certain delay. This derivation could also be one that is built with the minimal feature set, making it slimmer overall.

I still think that introducing libpq is a good thing on it's own, thus this PR.

Closes #61580 and #191920

Since psqlodbc is an official upstream project, we should take ownership
of it.
The latest version is not available from odbc/versions.old/.., thus move
to fetchFromGitHub.

No changelog found anywhere.
