Hi All,

Please find the updated patches for the same as per the instructions
from Dave Page.

Done.

Introduced a new function pgagent_schema_version() in the pgagent.sql
Also, written into the pgagent_update.sql for unreadability.

Done.
Checking for pgagent.pgagent_schema_version exists or not and also check if
return value of this function matches with the major version of pgagent.

Done.
Made changes in CMakeList.txt for adding definition of
PGAGENT_VERSION_MAJOR,
PGAGENT_VERSION_MINOR, PGAGENT_VERSION_PATCH in the Makefile.

BTW, changed the version of pgagent to 3.0.1 in the CMakeLists.txt
