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.

pg_safeupdate was updated to 1.5 in #269755. v1.5 is not compatible with
PostgreSQL 12 and 13 anymore, so those were marked as broken.
However, this blocks anyone using PostgreSQL 12 or 13 with pg_safeupdate
from updating nixpkgs.
Instead, the old version should have been kept for PG 12 and 13.
Previously the entire `meta` section from `pg-dump-anon` was copied
over including `mainProgram` which doesn't belong here. To avoid similar
issues, fields from the meta section of pg-dump-anon are copied over
explicitly.
The nixpkgs-unstable channel's programs.sqlite was used to identify
packages producing exactly one binary, and these automatically added
to their package definitions wherever possible.
