GDAL Import vector into PostGIS

Original Redmine Issue: 19451
Affected QGIS version: 3.3(master)
Redmine category:processing/gdal

---

When using seemingly any vector layer in v3 the data source is not automatically populated, and instead path_to_data_file layer_name are populated in the GDAL command which is the default.

I've investigated this and come up with a patch which I will share, probably on GitHub, but I don't know enough about the "right" way to do it.

Sorry, that will teach me to write tickets in the early hours. It should say GDAL Import vector into PostGIS. Can someone change the title?

But it is specifically the code in python/plugins/processing/algs/gdal/GdalAlgorithm.py getOgrCompatibleSource(...) that I think needs changing as it doesn't return addressable data source objects for layers so obviously can't write those out in text format for ogr2ogr. I think that probably affects multiple plugins.
