This is a hacky implementation of WebSocket server, embedded into our
postgres proxy. The server is used to allow https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless
to connect to our postgres from browser and serverless javascript functions.
How it will work (general schema):
- browser opens a websocket connection to
`wss://ep-abc-xyz-123.xx-central-1.aws.neon.tech/`
- proxy accepts this connection and terminates TLS (https)
- inside encrypted tunnel (HTTPS), browser initiates plain
(non-encrypted) postgres connection
- proxy performs auth as in usual plain pg connection and forwards
connection to the compute

This patch aims to fix some of the inconsistencies in error reporting,
for example "Internal error" or "Console request failed" instead of
"password authentication failed for user '<NAME>'".
The new format has a few benefits: it's shorter, simpler and
human-readable as well. We don't use base64 anymore, since
url encoding got us covered.
We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the
payload; the users should know it's all about passing the
correct project name.
[proxy] Add the `password hack` authentication flow
This lets us authenticate users which can use neither
SNI (due to old libpq) nor connection string `options`
(due to restrictions in other client libraries).
Note: `PasswordHack` will accept passwords which are not
encoded in base64 via the "password" field. The assumption
is that most user passwords will be valid utf-8 strings,
and the rest may still be passed via "password_".
* `cloud::legacy` talks to Cloud API V1.
* `cloud::api` defines Cloud API v2.
* `cloud::local` mocks the Cloud API V2 using a local postgres instance.
* It's possible to choose between API versions using the `--api-version` flag.
* [proxy] Add SCRAM auth
* [proxy] Implement some tests for SCRAM
* Refactoring + test fixes
* Hide SCRAM mechanism behind `#[cfg(test)]`
Currently we only use it in tests, so we hide all relevant
module behind `#[cfg(test)]` to prevent "unused item" warnings.
