RHEL 6 and PostgreSQL 13

Hi,

I'm thinking of dropping RHEL 6 support in PostgreSQL 13. RHEL 6 is too
old anyway, and I'm not sure people would want to use this combination.

Per https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

RHEL 6 will retire on 30 November 30 this year. I am willing to keep
building the currently supported PostgreSQL versions until their
respective EOL (so another ~5 years, and there is no need to add
another year to that)

This will simplify spec file a bit as well.

Comments, objections?

Regards,

Makes sense to drop it.
