[server] set PGPASSWORD when running pg commands for backup and restore For db-dump (implied by upgrade) and db-restore with postgres with non-trusted authentication, the db password is asked by pg tools (pg_dump, pg_restore, createdb, dropdb). Avoid this behavior by setting the PGPASSWORD environment variable when database driver is postgres and db-password is set in sources file.
