Clean up the leftover of commit 58bfe74123 ("buildPython*:
Deprecate and remove (buildPython* { ... }).override")
(cherry picked from commit b4e9f423f4)
This will be EOL at the end of November, so there's little reason to
keep it in 24.11[1]. As discussed, we'd like to keep it for as long as
possible to make sure there's a state in nixpkgs that has the latest
minor of postgresql_12 available with the most recent CVEs fixed for
people who cannot upgrade[2].
This aspect has been made explicit in the manual now for the next .11
release.
During the discussions it has been brought up that if people just do
`services.postgresql.enable = true;` and let the code decide the
postgresql version based on `system.stateVersion`, there's a chance that
such EOL dates will be missed. To make this harder, a warning will now
be raised when using the stateVersion-condition and the oldest still
available major is selected.
Additionally regrouped the postgresql things in the release notes to
make sure these are all shown consecutively. Otherwise it's a little
hard to keep track of all the changes made to postgresql in 24.11.

(cherry picked from commit 0b3eef7441)
The first version that supports zstd compression, to create the option
to eventually switch compression for the binary cache.
It was released one year ago on 2023-11-03 and first shipped in NixOS
23.11.
"Freeform options" is a term that's a bit more meaningful to regular
users who don't follow development, and thus does a better job at
describing the changes
The main goal is to make these points a bit more concise, fix errors,
and (somewhat subjectively) improve word choice to avoid repetition and
have a better flow
