Adding hypopg as a dependency for powa?

[rjuju]

Hello Devrim,

First thanks a lot for your hard work on packages!

@frost242 opened this feature request, he's also one of the contributor of the powa project. Adding the dependancy really makes sense, because it should help people interested in powa to ease the installation, which is unfortunately a bit complicated (configuring shared_preload_libraries, creating extensions, setting up the UI....). FWIW, this extension is used to validate and hint users about relevance of suggested indexes, so having it is quite useful and it's probably what users will expect.

Would you like a patch for this RM issue?

Regards.
