Resolves issue during bundle install:

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

No pg_config... trying anyway. If building fails, please try again with

Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:

        --without-opt-dir

Gem files will remain installed in /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/pg-0.15.1/ext/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing pg (0.15.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.15.1'` succeeds before bundling.

I felt that this was the most appropriate place for the package change since it is PostgreSQL specific.
