pg_checksums: Use new routine to retrieve data of PG_VERSION
Previously, attempting to use pg_checksums on a cluster with a control
file whose version does not match with what thetool is able to support
would lead to the following error:
pg_checksums: error: pg_control CRC value is incorrect
This is confusing, because it would look like the control file is
corrupted. However, the contents of the control file are correct,
pg_checksums not being able to understand how the past control file is
shaped.
This commit adds a check based on PG_VERSION, using the facility added
by cd0be131ba6f, using the same error message as some of the other
frontend tools. A note is added in the documentation about the major
version requirement.
