Problem
Making PG batch exports async means less blocking the main thread, more concurrent tasks, more performance! Let's do all destinations async and bring down the number of required workers!
Turns out is quite easy to make Postgres batch exports async. What's more, the new COPY API doesn't require a file, so we may try a different buffered approach in the future. I'm very excited for the future of batch exports!
Changes

, but I don't think that's very significant: at least semantically we are not losing or gaining anything as these fields are meant to be deprecated, and in terms of schema both are compatible.👉 Stay up-to-date with PostHog coding conventions for a smoother review.
How did you test this code?
Same tests as before, just now async too.
Also added redshift tests that target local postgres db instance. Since postgres is fairly compatible with Redshift, having automated tests is better than nothing (of course, tests can still be run against a real Redshift instance).
