The code-block in question is quite doubtful anyway:
- Since PostgreSQL 9.0 the pl/pgsql language is now installed by default
  https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/release-9-0.html [^]
- create language command should not be used as it is since a while
  as languages have been changed to be just 'extensions'. So even if pl/pgsql were not installed by default or missing "proper" way would be 'create extension'.

Manually removing the 'default installed' extension (adding 'drop extension' at end of prescript-systemuser-PostgreSQL.sql file shows that old 'create language' apparently still working.

However it should just:
a.) no be needed at all for new installs (we require pg10 > 9.0 having it by default)
b.) Even for updates it should not be needed as a postgres update 'classically' is pg_restore (which is preceeded by a create database which should get new 'installed by default').

If doubtful the code in question could be simplified to be 'create extension plpgsql' instead of the older syntax apparently now having issues.

Fixes ISSUE-46377: Fix create.database with PostgreSQL 14.

Some very old code to check & create the pl/pgsql language is running in
prescript and is how having syntax issue with upcoming PG14.

However since PG 9.0 the pl/pgsql language is installed by default (and
as an extension) so that code should not be needed anway (as we require
PG 10 since 20Q1 release already).

Remove that code as obsolete which indirectly fixes the PG 14 problem.

Tests / analysis for behavior:
- pg8.4 create empty database
  \dL (empty)
  \dx (feature of extensions does not exist yet in 8.4)
- pg9.3 (version of ubuntu 14.04)
  \dL plpgsql (owner=postgres,trusted)
  \dx plpgsql
- 8.4 install.source of 15Q2 (last compatible with 8.4)
  \dL plpgsql (owner=tad,trusted)
  Note: owner as we run prescript as tad and this prescript created entry
- 9.3 install.source of 15Q2
  \dL plpgsql (owner=postgres,trusted)
  entry created by postgres itself, our prescript skipped itself so kept owner
- pg_restore of 8.4 dump into 9.3
  - pg_restore shows error 'language plpgsql already exists'
    but continues
  - after that \dL plpgsql (owner=postgres,trusted)
- pg_upgradecluster 8.4 main -v 9.3 (pg_upgrade of 8.4 into 9.3)
  \ḑL maintains plpgsql but old owner=tad

With those tests i see no case were we would still require the code being removed here. As either:
- plpgsql language entry is carried over from old install
- or postgres will auto-create it for a new database (already since 9.0, and we required 10 already today (since 20Q1), we even do not support 9.0 anymore since 15Q3 already
