Jessica Grebenschikov 0649d2b930 satellite/repair: improve contention for injuredsegments table on CRDB
We migrated satelliteDB off of Postgres and over to CockroachDB (crdb), but there was way too high contention for the injuredsegments table so we had to rollback to Postgres for the repair queue. A couple things contributed to this problem:
1) crdb doesn't support `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`
2) the original crdb Select query was doing 2 full table scans and not using any indexes
3) the SLC Satellite (where we were doing the migration) was running 48 repair worker processes, each of which run up to 5 goroutines which all are trying to select out of the repair queue and this was causing a ton of contention.

The changes in this PR should help to reduce that contention and improve performance on CRDB.
The changes include:
1) Use an update/set query instead of select/update to capitalize on the new `UPDATE` implicit row locking ability in CRDB.
- Details: As of CRDB v20.2.2, there is implicit row locking with update/set queries (contention reduction and performance gains are described in this blog post: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/when-and-why-to-use-select-for-update-in-cockroachdb/).

2) Remove the `ORDER BY` clause since this was causing a full table scan and also prevented the use of the row locking capability.
- While long term it is very important to `ORDER BY segment_health`, the change here is only suppose to be a temporary bandaid to get us migrated over to CRDB quickly. Since segment_health has been set to infinity for some time now (re: https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/3224), it seems like it might be ok to continue not making use of this for the short term. However, long term this needs to be fixed with a redesign of the repair workers, possible in the trusted delegated repair design (https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/2602) or something similar to what is recommended here on how to implement a queue on CRDB https://dev.to/ajwerner/quick-and-easy-exactly-once-distributed-work-queues-using-serializable-transactions-jdp, or migrate to rabbit MQ priority queue or something similar..

This PRs improved query uses the index to avoid full scans and also locks the row its going to update and CRDB retries for us if there are any lock errors.
