Mktg: 2022-06-27 Add blog post for upgrading PostgreSQL 12 and 13 servers

Closes #13589 (closed)

Quick summary on the purpose of this blog post and why it is labeled as a priority:

We have found a major bug that affects all GitLab instances that use external PostgreSQL servers.

As part of the related P1/S1 issue (gitlab-org/gitlab#364763 (comment 997417523)) we want to also communicate with as many instance administrators as possible that they have to upgrade their servers as soon as possible.

The blog post will also serve as an additional landing page for people unaware of the problem once the get the errors and search for them. It will provide with an explanation and a way to mitigate it.
