checkpoints_timed not found when monitoring Postgres 17beta3

[HansK-p]

What did you do? Upgraded from Postgresql 16 to Postgresql 17beta3

What did you expect to see? Monitoring working as before.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances? The error message below is logged by postgres_exporter:

caller=collector.go:202 level=error msg="collector failed" name=stat_bgwriter duration_seconds=0.018634044 err="pq: column \"checkpoints_timed\" does not exist"

This must be as checkpoint related columns in PG 17 have been moved from pg_stat_bgwriter to pg_stat_checkpointer according to https://www.dbi-services.com/blog/postgresql-17-new-catalog-view-pg_stat_checkpointer/.

Environment Running in Kubernetes, any environment.
