Add PostgreSQL support to database package alongside existing MySQL support.
Both databases share common infrastructure (pool management, metrics,
transactions) while using database-specific connectors.
database/ changes:
- Add PostgresConfig struct and PostgreSQL connector using pgx/stdlib
- Change MySQL config from DBConfig to *MySQLConfig (pointer)
- Add Config.Validate() to prevent multiple database configs
- Add PostgreSQL connector with secure config building (no password in DSN)
- Add field validation and secure defaults (SSLMode="prefer")
- Support legacy flat PostgreSQL config format for backward compatibility
- Add tests for PostgreSQL configs and validation
New database/pgdb/ package:
- Native pgx connection pool support (*pgxpool.Pool)
- OpenPool() and OpenPoolWithConfigFile() APIs
- CreatePoolConfig() for secure config conversion
- PoolOptions for fine-grained pool control
- Full test coverage and documentation
Security:
- Passwords never exposed in DSN strings
- Set passwords separately in pgx config objects
- Validate all configuration before connection
Architecture:
- Shared code in database/ for both MySQL and PostgreSQL (sql.DB)
- database/pgdb/ for PostgreSQL-specific native pool support
