    Document version requirement in README.PostgreSQL
    
    Our primary README specifies a version requirement. However, this number
    is primarily based on what version PostgreSQL supported at the time of
    release. The other database READMEs provide a technical justification
    for their version requirements. Follow that same pattern for PostgreSQL.
    
    Saying that we require PostgreSQL 9.1 "starting with RT 5.0.0" is
    probably an oversimplification. The reality probably depends on the
    versions of every piece of the stack, including libpq, DBD::Pg, and RT
    itself. But RT 5.0.0 is the first release where we documented PostgreSQL
    9.1+ as the version requirement (see 0e0e496580cd), so go with that.

+Starting with RT 5.0.0, the minimum supported PostgreSQL version is 9.1. RT
+specifies a client_encoding when it connects to a PostgreSQL server to help
+ensure that text is encoded and decoded correctly and consistently in the
+database. Support for specifying client_encoding at connection time was
+introduced in PostgreSQL 9.1.
