fix(postgres): db-aware row-locking, savepoints & cursors

PostgreSQL rejects `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` when combined with `GROUP BY`,
aggregates or `DISTINCT`, has no concept of MySQL's locking semantics for those
shapes, and its server-side (unbuffered) cursors can't run nested queries
mid-iteration. This makes the row-locking / cursor paths db-aware so they keep
the exact MariaDB behaviour there and use the valid PostgreSQL form on Postgres.

One problem class, applied across the codebase:

- **`FOR UPDATE` + GROUP BY/aggregate** — keep `.for_update()` on MariaDB; on
  Postgres acquire the lock in a separate plain `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` pass (or
  skip where the grouped read isn't a lock point). Deprecated serial/batch,
  serial-batch-bundle, pick list, stock reservation entry.
- **Unbuffered/server-side cursor** — Stock Ageing streamed via an unbuffered
  cursor and then ran nested queries; on Postgres that invalidates the cursor, so
  process the buffered result directly there.
- **Transaction savepoints** — Opening Invoice Creation Tool rolled back the whole
  transaction per failed invoice (which on Postgres also discards sibling rows and
  earlier error logs); scope each invoice to a savepoint instead.

No behaviour change on MariaDB (the locking/cursor path is unchanged there).
