pgx had been renamed to pgrx in April 2023 already [1]. Newer versions
are already in nixpkgs as pgrx. Since the previous commit removed
the only remaining instance of a package still depending on
pgx 0.6.1, we can now remove all of buildPgxExtension and cargo-pgx.

postgresql14Packages.promscale_extension breaks with:
Error:
0: `pgx-0.6.1` shouldn't be used with `cargo-pgx-0.7.4`,
please use `pgx = "~0.7.4"` in your `Cargo.toml`.
However, pinning cargo-pgx to 0_6_1 via the following
buildPgxExtension.override { cargo-pgx = cargo-pgx_0_6_1; }
does not work either, because the build then fails with:
thread 'main' panicked at /build/promscale_extension-0.8.0-vendor.tar.gz/proc-macro2/src/fallback.rs:756:9:
"__mbstate_t_union_(unnamed_at_/nix/store/ij144ma6vs8acil8r9hgr8xkb1dp9azg-glibc-2_39-5-dev/include/bits/types/__mbstate_t_h_16_3)" is not a valid Ident
This seems to be related to [1], which indicates that this is a
problem with newer LLVM / clang toolchains.
At the same time th upstream package is deprecated / archived since
the 2nd of April 2024 [2]. Additionally this package is unfree and
thus very unlikely to be forked. Since we can't expect this to be
fixed, the only sensible thing to do is to remove the package.

This was introduced in #228349, but doesn't seem necessary to build for pkgsMusl.
In fact the patch itself seems to be very specific about a stripped down icu
package in Alpine Linux, which does not apply to nixpkgs.
This was disabled to fix#51093. The related discussion upstream revealed that this
has been fixed in [1] for v12+. Since v12 is our oldest supported version right now,
we should be able to safely enable parallel building on darwin again.
Furthermore, it seems that this kind of issue was also fixed in #51221 and #51408
for the general case.

This was introduced in #44083 to fix cross building, where xml2-config
wouldn't run on the host platform. This was fixed upstream two years
later [1], so that from v13 on pkg-config is used before xml2-config is.
Once v12 is EOL, we can remove this entirely.

This was introduced in 65fd8f3f48 around 20 years
ago as LANG=en_US, later changed to LC_ALL=en_US and LC_ALL=C to avoid bash
warnings. This might have been relevant to run initdb during the check phase, but
the PostgreSQL docs [1] say this today:
For implementation reasons, setting LC_ALL does not work for this purpose
Therefore it can be removed safely.

Trying to understand what each patch does made me come up with some more
descriptive names:
- Renaming the two disable-xxx patches to a common names makes it immediately
clear that one replaces the other depending on version number.
- findstring was really not descriptive at all.
- hardcode-pgxs-path will be extended with more paths for split outputs in
a later commit. Renaming here already to allow git to better track renames.
Finally replacing HARDCODED_PGXS_PATH with $out/lib in the last patch, makes
it easier to understand what the end result will look like when reading the
patch.
More cosmetic than anything else. The description in findstring.patch was
duplicated, postgresql-9.6.1 references confusing. Timestamps are not
needed, that's what git blame is for.
