Description
Part of our Dataverse validation work requires that we programmatically, remotely obtain the version of Postgres serving Dataverse's metadata catalog. I checked /openapi but didn't find anything related.
For security reasons it might be nice for this endpoint to require the API token of a superuser.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the API surface exposed through /openapi and the code serving Dataverse's metadata catalog. Define how the endpoint should obtain and expose the Postgres version, including the proposed superuser API-token requirement; done means the version can be retrieved remotely for validation and the endpoint is represented in /openapi.
