/*
 * get_pg_version
 *
 * Retrieve the major version number of the given data folder, from
 * PG_VERSION.  The result returned is a version number, that can be used
 * for comparisons based on PG_VERSION_NUM.  For example, if PG_VERSION
 * contains "18\n", this function returns 180000.
 *
 * This supports both the pre-v10 and the post-v10 version numbering.
 *
 * Optionally, "version_str" can be specified to store the contents
 * retrieved from PG_VERSION.  It is allocated by this routine; the
 * caller is responsible for pg_free()-ing it.
