The previous implementation of the driver would `Acquire()` a conn from the `pgxpool.Pool`, but keep the pool in control of the conn. This meant that the pool would still do its regular maintenance checks on the conn, such as closing it after it had reached its max lifetime. This isn't actually desirable in the case of a `LISTEN` listener—we want the listener to stay alive as long as possible and to avoid missing any notifications. We perform our own health checks on the conn in the form of periodic pings, which should be sufficient to make sure the conn is still connected and functioning properly. As such, adjust the driver so that it calls `Hijack()` on the conn immediately after acquiring it, assuming full control of it from the underlying pool. The listener is still responsible for closing the conn at shutdown. Fixes #660.
