Populate pg_system_versions with a set of core versions: host system
architecture, ICU version, glibc version, PostgreSQL itself and compiler
which was used to build everything. Register the core versions at the
backend startup.
select * from pg_system_versions;
name | version | type
----------+--------------+--------------
Arch | x86_64-linux | Compile Time
ICU | 15.1 | Run Time
Core | 18devel | Compile Time
Compiler | gcc-14.0.1 | Compile Time
Glibc | 2.40 | Run Time
