Kurtis Van Gent f630965937 feat!: consolidate "x-postgres-generic" tools to "postgres-sql" tool (#43)
This PR introduces the following breaking change: The
`alloydb-pg-generic`, `cloud-sql-pg-generic`, and
`postgres-generic-tool` have been replaced by the `postgres-sql` tool,
which works with all 3 Postgres sources.

If you were using of the the previous tools, you will need to update it
as follows:
```diff
example_tool:
-    kind: cloud-sql-pg-generic
+    kind: postgres-sql
     source: my-cloud-sql-pg-instance
     description: some description
        statement: |
            SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
        parameters:
        - name: country
          type: string
          description: some description
```

I'm proposing this change for the following reasons:
1. It provides greater flexibility between postgres-compatible sources
-- you can change between "postgres" and "alloydb-postgres" without
issue
2. The name "postgres-sql" is more clear that "postgres-generic" -- it
indicates it's a tool that runs SQL on the source
3. It's easier for us to maintain feature compatibility across a single
"postgres-sql" tool

# Postgres SQL Tool
A "postgres-sql" tool executes a pre-defined SQL statement against a postgres
database. It's compatible with any of the following sources:
- [alloydb-postgres](../sources/alloydb-pg.md)
- [cloud-sql-postgres](../sources/cloud-sql-pg.md)
- [postgres](../sources/postgres.md)
The specified SQL statement is executed as a [prepared statement][pg-prepare],
and specified parameters will inserted according to their position: e.g. "$1"
will be the first parameter specified, "$@" will be the second parameter, and so
on.
[pg-prepare]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-prepare.html
## Example
```yaml
tools:
search_flights_by_number:
kind: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
statement: |
SELECT * FROM flights
WHERE airline = $1
AND flight_number = $2
LIMIT 10
description: |
Use this tool to get information for a specific flight.
Takes an airline code and flight number and returns info on the flight.
Do NOT use this tool with a flight id. Do NOT guess an airline code or flight number.
A airline code is a code for an airline service consisting of two-character
airline designator and followed by flight number, which is 1 to 4 digit number.
For example, if given CY 0123, the airline is "CY", and flight_number is "123".
Another example for this is DL 1234, the airline is "DL", and flight_number is "1234".
If the tool returns more than one option choose the date closes to today.
Example:
{{
"airline": "CY",
"flight_number": "888",
}}
Example:
{{
"airline": "DL",
"flight_number": "1234",
}}
parameters:
- name: airline
type: string
description: Airline unique 2 letter identifier
- name: flight_number
type: string
description: 1 to 4 digit number
```
