For the libpq-oauth module to eventually make use of the PGoauthBearerRequest API, it needs some additional functionality: the derived Issuer ID for the authorization server needs to be provided, and error messages need to be built without relying on PGconn internals. These features seem useful for application hooks, too, so that they don't each have to reinvent the wheel. The original plan was for additions to PGoauthBearerRequest to be made without a version bump to the PGauthData type. Applications would simply check a LIBPQ_HAS_* macro at compile time to decide whether they could use the new features. That theoretically works for applications linked against libpq, since it's not safe to downgrade libpq from the version you've compiled against. We've since found that this strategy won't work for plugins, due to a complication first noticed during the libpq-oauth module split: it's normal for a plugin on disk to be *newer* than the libpq that's loading it, because you might have upgraded your installation while an application was running. (In other words, a plugin architecture causes the compile-time and run-time dependency arrows to point in opposite directions, so plugins won't be able to rely on the LIBPQ_HAS_* macros to determine what APIs are available to them.) Instead, extend the original PGoauthBearerRequest (now retroactively referred to as "v1" in the code) with a v2 subclass-style struct. When an application implements and accepts PQAUTHDATA_OAUTH_BEARER_TOKEN_V2, it may safely cast the base request pointer it receives in its callbacks to v2 in order to make use of the new functionality. libpq will query the application for a v2 hook first, then v1 to maintain backwards compatibility, before giving up and using the builtin flow.
