Tristan Partin cf7a596a15 Generate sql_exporter config files with Jsonnet
There are quite a few benefits to this approach:

- Reduce config duplication
  - The two sql_exporter configs were super similar with just a few
    differences
- Pull SQL queries into standalone files
  - That means we could run a SQL formatter on the file in the future
  - It also means access to syntax highlighting
- In the future, run different queries for different PG versions
  - This is relevant because right now, we have queries that are failing
    on PG 17 due to catalog updates

Compute Configuration

These files are the configuration files for various other pieces of software that will be running in the compute alongside Postgres.

Adding a sql_exporter Metric

We use sql_exporter to export various metrics from Postgres. In order to add a metric, you will need to create two files: a libsonnet and a sql file. You will then import the libsonnet file in one of the collector files, and the sql file will be imported in the libsonnet file.

In the event your statistic is an LSN, you may want to cast it to a float8 because Prometheus only supports floats. It's probably fine because float8 can store integers from -2^53 to +2^53 exactly.
