Bump org.postgresql:postgresql version (#3305)

This fixes a vulnerability, which doesn't apply to eclair in known
deployements, but is worth fixing in case some nodes use untrusted
database hosts which could lead to DoS attacks.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the PostgreSQL database driver used by the Eclair Lightning node software from version 42.7.8 to 42.7.11. The commit message says this fixes a vulnerability that could allow denial-of-service (DoS) attacks if a node connects to an untrusted database host. The developers state it does not affect known Eclair deployments, but they are patching it as a precaution.

Recommended action

Users building or running Eclair from source should ensure this commit is included and verify the updated checksums. Operators using PostgreSQL backends should use trusted database hosts and monitor PostgreSQL JDBC driver security advisories for the specific fixed vulnerability.
