#3610 new task

Switch garden tests to utilize JSON (or JSONB) for log storage

Description

Right now the garden tests store results as XML which is an optional install for postgres. I often don't build my postgresql with xml. Also xml in general has less support now than json does.

Since JSONB exists from PostgreSQL 9.3+ and JSON for 9.2+ and is always present, makes sense to switch to that at least for 2.4. We can do 2.3 too since we dropped support for 9.1 in 2.3.

This ticket refers to the public.postgis_garden_log%_output table using xml as the datatype for the log_output field — which tools are using that column at the moment ?
