Enhancement: improve RHEL/Centos .rpm package to be compatible with recent Fedora releases #2547

While TDB can work fine with Fedora's own postgresql package, the current TDB rpm packages doesn't install on Fedora out of the box. With few changes, it'll become compatible:

  1. The postinstall scriptlet should be extended to try using pg_ctl on system PATH if it cannot find /usr/pgsql-12/bin/pg_config
  2. The RPM package can depend on postgresql and postrgresql-server >= 12 besides postgresql12 & postgresql12-server packages.

(Well, maybe RHEL 7 RPM doesn't support conditional dependencies (e.g. postgresql12 >= 12 || postgresql >= 12). In that case, a separate package/repo can be provided for Fedora.

Note that current TDB packages for RHEL 7 work fine on many recent Fedora versions (I've tried F32 & F33 and IIRC F31). And I'd guess it should work OK on RHEL 8 too. So an RHEL 8 repo should serve both RHEL 8 & recent Fedora versions. Hopefully, RHEL 8 should support conditional dependencies. (Not sure though).

The problem seems to be missing pg_config in the appstream package. Is there a way to get a pg_config version that is in sync with the installed appstream postgres package?
