Disable bytes usage with postgres
More often than not passing bytes to `txn.execute` is a bug (where we
meant to pass a string) that just happens to work if `BYTEA_OUTPUT` is
set to `ESCAPE`. However, this is a bit of a footgun so we want to
instead error when this happens, and force using `bytearray` if we
actually want to use bytes.
