[Live-demo] Update OSGeo-Live Project Overviews and Quickstarts - postgis

[maplabs at light42.com]

per discussion on IRC today... it seems there are packages for pg 9.3 / 
Ubuntu 12.04, as described at

    http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt

we will try to bring libgdal1h, GEOS and PostGIS 2.1 up to fit this
as well as any Postgres addons/extensions we want to use
