Well, we didn't *fully* break - all the system library headers included via
postgres.h are still included first. It's "just" stuff like <time.h>, that are
included later / indirectly, where we broke it. It's not too hard to believe
that changing _POSIX_C_SOURCE won't cause immediately visible problems oustide
of a few headers that we already included via c.h.
