Sets `extra_float_digits` setting to 1 when connecting to DB. For older (<12) Postgres, this should be enough to cover all values JS can store preciesely. For 12+ postgres this setting should have no effect. Fix brianc#3092

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this belongs in pg’s use of startup instead of in pg-protocol. (Side benefit: fewer/no other tests to update, since that’s at least part of why CI is failing right now.)
It also needs to be higher than 1 (take 0.42467013940651843 as a random example), with an accordingly stricter test case. I don’t have time right now to figure out exactly how much precision is enough, but setting it to 3 (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/runtime-config-client.html#GUC-EXTRA-FLOAT-DIGITS) is probably fine.
