Support AlloyDB

[Torch3333]

Description

This adds support for AlloyDB versions 15 and 16, a fully PostgreSQL-compliant database. Connection to AlloyDB is done through the PostgreSQL JDBC driver.

A standalone version of AlloyDB called Omni is used to run the CI.
By default, AlloyDB and Omni use a database collation that is not compatible with ScalarDB. The default collation causes ScalarDB and AlloyDB to yield different results in string comparisons, which can lead to fundamental issues. Therefore, users must ensure that the AlloyDB database utilizes the icu-locale named en-US-u-va-posix.

A sample configuration to connect to local AlloyDB Omni is identical to PostgreSQL

# scalar.db.storage=jdbc
# scalar.db.contact_points=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/
# scalar.db.username=postgres
# scalar.db.password=postgres

A sample configuration to connect to AlloyDB on GCP through a public IP using the Java connector:

# scalar.db.storage=jdbc
# scalar.db.contact_points=jdbc:postgresql:///<DATABASE_NAME>?socketFactory=com.google.cloud.alloydb.SocketFactory&alloydbInstanceName=<INSTANCE_NAME>&alloydbIpType=PUBLIC
# scalar.db.username=postgres
# scalar.db.password=postgres

@Torch3333 Just a confirmation. This configuration and the locale issue will be documented later?

LGTM! 👍

I left a comment about documentation, but this PR itself looks good!

Yes, I will add it to the documentation.
