83baf49487 [proxy] Forward compute connection params to client
This fixes all kinds of problems related to missing params,
like broken timestamps (due to `integer_datetimes`).

This solution is not ideal, but it will help. Meanwhile,
I'm going to dedicate some time to improving connection machinery.

Note that this **does not** fix problems with passing certain parameters
in a reverse direction, i.e. **from client to compute**. This is a
separate matter and will be dealt with in an upcoming PR.

46ea2a8e96 Continue #2724: replace Url-based PgConnectionConfig with a hand-crafted struct
Downsides are:

* We store all components of the config separately. `Url` stores them inside a single
  `String` and a bunch of ints which point to different parts of the URL, which is
  probably more efficient.
* It is now impossible to pass arbitrary connection strings to the configuration file,
  one has to support all components explicitly. However, we never supported anything
  except for `host:port` anyway.

Upsides are:

* This significantly restricts the space of possible connection strings, some of which
  may be either invalid or unsupported. E.g. Postgres' connection strings may include
  a bunch of parameters as query (e.g. `connect_timeout=`, `options=`). These are nether
  validated by the current implementation, nor passed to the postgres client library,
  Hence, storing separate fields expresses the intention better.
* The same connection configuration may be represented as a URL in multiple ways
  (e.g. either `password=` in the query part or a standard URL password).
  Now we have a single canonical way.
* Escaping is provided for `options=`.

Other possibilities considered:

* `newtype` with a `String` inside and some validation on creation.
  This is more efficient, but harder to log for two reasons:
  * Passwords should never end up in logs, so we have to somehow
  * Escaped `options=` are harder to read, especially if URL-encoded,
    and we use `options=` a lot.
