Better PostgreSQL for cPanel & WHM

This Plugin aims to bring extended support for more recent PostgreSQL versions to cPanel & WHM. The approach is very similar to what already exists for MySQL -- we will be installing from community repositories which already build the server for CentOS.

The Plan

• Add UI page for facilitating upgrades. Mimic the MySQL/MariaDB upgrade page, as this is what customers would expect.
• Implement the "bone stock" path in the UI as well, have it be default option for install.
• Testing. Lots of testing.
• RPMification. Makefile needs to bundle shit into SOURCES and then run specfile(s) in SPECS. Copy rpmbuild artifacts to dist folder or whatever. Maybe a publish rule for yum repo?

Other Ambitions

Why not bring other useful extensions to postgres (like PostGIS)? Why not facilitate clustering or at least PG connection pooling?
