What does this MR do?

Relates !632 (merged)

MR fixes Postgres client libs on Amazon Linux 2. AL2 installs a very old version of PG libs by default (~9.6), a version that doesn't support SCRAM authentication as desired (needs to be 10+).

Postgres client libs are used by Ansible's Postgres tasks to perform select actions such as creating users, etc... For clients we don't need to match the Postgres version specifically as they're backwards and forwards compatible, we just need one that supports the features we need. PG13's libs will do this for some time.
