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:

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.
