I don't really understand why this is only for a single version, so I
figured I'd just add this to the test matrix to also cover this
test-case for each major. Now, there's also one thing less to take care of
when removing old postgresql versions.

This option allows basic configuration of the compression technique
used in the backup script. Specifically it adds `none` and `zstd` as
new alternatives, keeping `gzip` as the default.
Previously, a failed backup would always overwrite ${db}.sql.gz,
because the bash `>` redirect truncates the file; even if the
backup was going to fail.
On the next run, the ${db}.prev.sql.gz backup would be
overwritten by the bad ${db}.sql.gz.
Now, if the backup fails, the ${db}.in-progress.sql.gz is in an
unknown state, but ${db}.sql.gz will not be written.
On the next run, ${db}.prev.sql.gz (our only good backup) will
not be overwritten because ${db}.sql.gz does not exist.
* postgresql: reorganize package and it's extensions
Extracts some useful parts of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/38698,
in particular, it's vision that postgresql plugins should be namespaced.
For large setups it is useful to list all databases explicit
(for example if temporary databases are also present) and store them in extra
files.
For smaller setups it is more convenient to just backup all databases at once,
because it is easy to forget to update configuration when adding/renaming
databases. pg_dumpall also has the advantage that it backups users/passwords.
As a result the module becomes easier to use because it is sufficient
in the default case to just set one option (services.postgresqlBackup.enable).
1. Needs to call makeTest or else nothing happens when you run
`nix-build nixos/tests/postgresql.nix`.
2. Tests run as root, so there needs to be a corresponding user in
PostgreSQL.
