libpq cross-version compatibility v15

EDB OCL installation always uses the latest libpq. When upgrading to a new major release of EDB Postgres Advanced Server, the different scenarios supported under libpq cross-version compatibility are as follows:

• If the latest libpq is installed on the machine, OCL uses it.
• If the latest libpq isn't already installed, OCL installs it. It doesn't use the existing libpq of older versions even if it's installed.
• If you upgrade the OCL version, then libpq is also upgraded to its latest version.

If you're upgrading to a minor release, you need to manually upgrade libpq.
