PostGIS can't build with PostgreSQL v12devel because "pg_constraint.consrc" has been removed

[Laurenz Albe]

PostgreSQL v12 has removed the pg_constraint.consrc column in commit ​96b00c43.

The recommendation is to use ​pg_get_constraintdef instead.

Now PostGIS relies pretty heavily on this column, so it won't work with PostgreSQL v12 any more.

I can try and come up with a fix, but it is not a 5 minute affair, and I will habe little time in the near future, so I thought I'd better alert you.

Laurenz thanks for the ticket and commit that broke it.

I'll work on a patch for this. It did hit a lot of pieces in our code base.

Much appreciated.

It looks like we might be able to backport it as this was something we should have stopped using a while ago evidentally.

In 17030:

Put back deprecated functions removed in r17029, but patch them to use newer pg_get_constraintdef function.
Also mark them as undeprecated cause they are used in other management functions, and it's too messy to change those to use teh raw sql.
We maybe stuck with these forever :(
Closes #4243 for PostGIS 3.0
