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.

Currently Cockroach isn't performant for concurrent database setup and
tear-down. Instead of a single instance allow setting multiple potential
connection strings and let the tests pick one connection string
randomly.
This improves test duration by ~10 minutes.
While we are at significantly changing how pgtest works, introduce
helper PickPostgres and PickCockroach for selecting the database to
reduce code duplications in multiple places.

Replace all the remaining uses of sql.DB with tagsql.DB to
fix issues with context cancellation.
Introduce tagsql.Open which helps to get rid of all tagsql.Wrap-s.
Use tagsql in cockroachkv and postgreskv.

first, so that they all work the same way, because it's getting
complicated, and second, so that we can do the appropriate thing
instead of CREATE SCHEMA for cockroachdb.
