Allow CREATE SUBSCRIPTION to accept a foreign server using the SERVER
clause instead of a raw connection string using the CONNECTION clause.
* Enables a user with sufficient privileges to create a subscription
using a foreign server by name without specifying the connection
details.
* Integrates with user mappings (and other FDW infrastructure) using
the subscription owner.
* Provides a layer of indirection to manage multiple subscriptions
to the same remote server more easily.
Also add CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER ... CONNECTION clause to specify
a connection_function. To be eligible for a subscription, the foreign
server's foreign data wrapper must specify a connection_function.
Add connection_function support to postgres_fdw, and bump postgres_fdw
version to 1.3.
Bump catversion.
