Add development guide for min PG version changes
This issue is a continuation of the discussion at #826 (comment 570407020)
Currently we document that we update our minimum PG version every year. https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/development/managing-postgresql-versions.html And we typically support two versions at a time. What the current process doesn't capture is the business needs for upgrading the PG version. In the fall of 2020 we considered not updating the min pg version for 14.0, but through some investigation we learned that some teams were already designing features based on PG12's abilities. I think we should:
- point: update our wording to be that we 'generally' update PG min versions every year.
- point: make the current min version more prominent in the docs
- point: add a process development guide to https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/database/index.html that outlines the process for teams to propose a need to change to the min version.
