fix: misleading logs on unsupported postgresql versions

Postgrest fails on unsupported pg versions. However before killing
the thread, it continues to print a few more log messages which
were misleading. This commit fixes this by making sure that the
no log message should be printed after the unsupported pg version
observation and kill the thread immediately.
