feat(backup): restore a same-version backup in place, history kept, all or nothing (#5815)
#5815 "Restore engine: in place for a same-version backup".

restore_in_place (steward/backup/restore.py) runs in one transaction:
1. It keeps aside what Steward records as it runs: ACTIVITY columns of rows
   that come back, and STATE_SETTINGS.
2. It drops every foreign key touching a replaced table.
3. It truncates the replaced tables and COPYs the backup's rows in
   unparsed, through asyncpg.
4. It puts the kept state back and moves sequences past their rows.
5. It puts right the rows whose parent didn't come back, by each key's own
   ON DELETE. A RESTRICT key that may be empty is cleared, so a run whose
   user is gone keeps its record.
6. It re-adds the keys, which checks every row.

A failure anywhere rolls the whole restore back. A backup made at another
schema is refused with NotSameSchema ("older": a full replace is the way;
"newer": update Steward).

The COPY-text reading moves into steward/backup/pgdata.py, shared by the
check and the restore. The integration tests stand in for pg_restore with
this database's own COPY output:
- settings come back while the audit log and the history of what remains
  stay;
- history of what didn't come back goes;
- a failure part-way changes nothing;
- a newer schema is refused.

"""Checking a backup: what it would restore, compared with what is in place,
without restoring anything (#5823).
The backup's rows come out of pg_restore as COPY text, with no database
involved; the rows in place go out through COPY in the same form. They are
compared table by table on their primary keys, over the columns both sides
have. Nothing is written.
What is compared is what a restore would replace: every table whose rows
the backup carries and this Steward keeps (contents.py). Columns that are
Steward's record of what it last saw (contents.ACTIVITY) and settings it
writes as it runs (contents.STATE_SETTINGS) are left out of the comparison:
they change by the minute and say nothing about whether the backup is good.
A sealed value (crypto's ``enc:v1:`` tokens) is opened with its own side's
key and compared as plaintext, so a secret sealed twice still matches. It
is never shown: the report says only that it differs. A backup whose key
doesn't open its own sealed values is reported, since its secrets would not
come back.
