What:
Use the github.com/jackc/pgx postgresql driver in place of
github.com/lib/pq.
Why:
github.com/lib/pq has some problems with error handling and context
cancellations (i.e. it might even issue queries or DML statements more
than once! see https://github.com/lib/pq/issues/939). The
github.com/jackx/pgx library appears not to have these problems, and
also appears to be better engineered and implemented (in particular, it
doesn't use "exceptions by panic"). It should also give us some
performance improvements in some cases, and even more so if we can use
it directly instead of going through the database/sql layer.

Reduce the number of non-methods to reduce funcs in the namespace also
combine a func to slightly condense the code more.
