InvenTree [FR] Check Postgres/pgdump version and fallback to export

@quezon do you have backups enabled? I think this is related to the backup component - which ships with an old version of pgdump.

This is becoming a prominent problem fast. We could fall back to our built in import/export function for backups. Would make them agnostic too. A bit slower than nativ methods but I think this is better then not starting.

@matmair might be time to revisit this (or reconsider) - https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/10586

tbh i am not sure the approach of django-dbbackup is a good fit for the project as it ignores the required plugins

We need to look into this as well
