perf(ci): turn off Postgres durability in integration tests
test-go / test (push) Successful in 28s
test-go / integration (push) Successful in 4m27s

TRUNCATE-everything ResetDB before every test forces a commit fsync; the CI DB is rebuilt each run so durability buys nothing. ALTER SYSTEM via docker exec (the services: block can't override the postgres command line). Non-fatal so a perms surprise degrades to slow, never red.

Per the playbook the operator shared from another project (~17x speedup observed there). Measure before/after in the next two CI runs.

# Relax durability on the throwaway CI Postgres. Our test pattern

# every test, and the per-TRUNCATE commit fsync is the dominant
# cost of the integration suite. The CI DB is rebuilt every run so
# fsync / full_page_writes / synchronous_commit buy nothing. Apply
# via docker exec because:
# - The act_runner `services:` block can't override the container
# command, so `postgres -c fsync=off` at boot isn't an option.
# - ALTER SYSTEM cannot run inside a transaction; psql -c
# auto-commits each statement, which is what we need.
# - fsync / full_page_writes are sighup GUCs and
# synchronous_commit is user-context, so pg_reload_conf() picks
# all three up with no restart.
# Non-fatal: a perms surprise degrades to "slower", never red CI.
