After giving it some thought, ISTM that there could also be a performance
improvement with copy freeze from older version, so I'd suggest to add it
after 9.3 where the option was added, i.e. 90300.

Also, I do not think it is worth to fail on a 0 pqserverversion, just keep
the number and consider it a very old version?

Question: should there be a word about copy using the freeze option? I'd
say yes, in the section describing "g".
