Bug#1101120: Please enable the PostgreSQL backend

[Marc Dequènes (duck)]

Quack,

Usually only server admins would bother to use such tool, to share the 
map with their players. On a server the recommended backend is 
PostgreSQL for larger servers[1], therefore I think it would make sense 
to also enable this backend in minetestmapper.

I have rebuilt the package after adding libpq-dev as build dependency, 
no other changes, and it is sufficient to enable the backend. I have 
built it for bookworm and tested on a server and was able to 
successfully generate maps.

This only drags libpq5 and dependencies which are few and weights very 
little in term of storage space.

Would you consider adding support on the official package?

Regards.
