Support for Parquet S3 Foreign Data Wrapper for PostgreSQL for psql PaaS

Please add support for parquet S3 FDW for s3 server ad external data wrapper.


It's been officially released on Dic 23

https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/parquet-s3-fdw-110-released-2768/

but right now it's not an extension supported by IBM Cloud.


The installation guide is at this repo

https://github.com/pgspider/parquet_s3_fdw


For example, we are now in the need to dump a table to a csv file on an external storage (best if s3, but not mandatory).

We are unable to use any native extension, since the supported fdw are just file (how can I use it when I don't have access to the local disk of the server?) and the postgres (but I don't need an external psql db).

So we will go with some psql client or driver and ibmcloud cli/sdk to achieve the same result as we would have with this extension.
