Refuse connection with server with protocol version 2.
This cuts off server whose version is older than 7.4. But enables us to
remove large portions of code rarely used and tested (e.g. p2 copy) and
will allow us to drop the query we do at each connection to establish
the client encoding and the datestyle.
