Describe the bug

The compatibility matrix on the referenced page indicates TimescaleDB extensions in the 2.16.x releases are compatible with PostgreSQL 13.

However, attempting to build TimescaleDB extension v2.16.1 for PostgreSQL 13.18 on macOS 15.2/Mac Mini M4 fails with message

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:355 (message):
  TimescaleDB only supports PostgreSQL 14, 15 and 16

I am able to build e.g. v2.15.3 against the same installation of PostgreSQL 13.18

What do the docs say now?

Version number	PostgreSQL 17	PostgreSQL 16	PostgreSQL 15	PostgreSQL 14	PostgreSQL 13	PostgreSQL 12	PostgreSQL 11	PostgreSQL 10
TimescaleDB 2.16.x	❌	✅	✅	✅	✅	❌	❌	❌

What should the docs say?

If not an isolated case, this incompatibility should be reflected in the compatibility matrix, i.e.

Version number	PostgreSQL 17	PostgreSQL 16	PostgreSQL 15	PostgreSQL 14	PostgreSQL 13	PostgreSQL 12	PostgreSQL 11	PostgreSQL 10
TimescaleDB 2.16.x	❌	✅	✅	✅	❌	❌	❌	❌

Thank you for reporting this @rgvoz, you are correct. We dropped support for Postgres 13 with the 2.16.0 release. We'll update the docs.
