Simplify and speed up Postgres query for primary_keys

primary_keys(table) needs to query various metadata tables in Postgres to
determine the primary key for the table. Previously, it did so using a
complex common table expression against pg_constraint and pg_attribute.

This patch simplifies the query by joining pg_index against pg_attribute
instead of going through pg_constraint. This avoids an expensive unnest,
window function query, and common table expression.

EXPLAINing these queries in Postgres against a database with a single
table with a composite primary key shows a 66% reduction in the plan and
execute latencies. This is significant during application startup time,
especially against very large schemas, where these queries would be even
slower and more numerous.

Closes #27949
