Stamp HEAD as 10devel.
This is a good bit more complicated than the average new-version stamping commit, because it includes various adjustments in pursuit of changing from three-part to two-part version numbers. It's likely some further work will be needed around that change; but this is enough to get through the regression tests, at least in Unix builds. Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane

+ Current <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> version numbers consist of a
+ major and a minor version number. For example, in the version number 10.1,
+ the 10 is the major version number and the 1 is the minor version number,
+ meaning this would be the first minor release of the major release 10. For
+ releases before <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> version 10.0, version
+ numbers consist of three numbers, for example, 9.5.3. In those cases, the
+ major version consists of the first two digit groups of the version number,
+ e.g., 9.5, and the minor version is the third number, e.g., 3, meaning this
+ would be the third minor release of the major release 9.5.
