stapi-based speedtables definitions aren't regenerated if speedtables is updated

[lehenbauer]

"Normal" speedtables are automatically regenerated if their definition changes or if speedtables itself is updated. Speedtables generated by stapi based on DDL read from PostgreSQL are not automatically regenerated.

This can result in strange errors if, for instance, a new version of Pgtcl is put in place. Stapi-based speedtables will reference the old while classic ctables-based speedtables will reference the new, and strange behaviors result.

Please make stapi C extensions be regenerated if speedtables are updated with a new version.

That's a good point. Let me dig into the code... I can see a couple of
approaches. The code in STAPI to decide whether to rebuild the speedtable
may simply be redundant now, and if so I can punt that decision up one
level to the Speedtables code.

There is a check in stapi, actually. init_ctable uses an entire file to track the version number of speedtables and the version number (0.1) of stapi, so the candidate places to make the changes are clear and the main choices are to always increment the speetables package version for every change or to add some additional thing to generated/saved/compared version info, like perhaps the last git commit id.

I was going to say it could use the same list as ctables but the
pgtcl-based stapi doesn't necessarily even have that loaded.

I won't have time to work on this until after the 15th and possibly the
weekend following. Is that ok?

Sure, no worries.
