33379	Add minimum database version checks	Tim Graham	Hasan Ramezani	"7444f3252757ed4384623e5afd7dcfeef3e0c74e added a minimum version check for SQLite, but the other database backends don't have such a check. We sometimes get bug reports from people using an unsupported database version, so I think the checks would add value. Is a query to fetch the database version on startup an acceptable cost?

Perhaps there's a better way to run a query just once, but here's what I did in django-cockroachdb:
https://github.com/cockroachdb/django-cockroachdb/commit/27ebbefa515edf3ba68a5373dea48c4acdda60ab

We could make the check generic by adding `DatabaseFeatures.minimum_database_version` as well as a standard method to get the database version as suggested in #18332."	New feature	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
