Proposed Changes

At https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/#requirements and https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/upgrading/#2-update-dependencies-to-required-versions it still says that Postgres 12+ is required.

But elsewhere it says that Postgres 13+ is required.

Netbox uses Django 5.1, and Django 5.1's documentation also says that Postgres 13+ is required. So I think the first two pages linked above are wrong.
