chore: abstract pg test logic and double runner sizes (#21091)

This PR does two things, both in service of helping to (hopefully!)
speed up CI:

1. abstracts the parallelism logic into a common action and has all
PG-related jobs use it
2. doubles runner sizes from [8->16 CPUs & 32->64GiB
RAM](https://depot.dev/docs/github-actions/runner-types)* and
concomitantly increases parallelism

I only focused on the PG-related jobs since they are generally slowest &
most RAM-intensive.

_* `test-go-race-pg` doubles from 16->32 CPUs & 64->128GiB RAM and
likewise for the Windows runners; MacOS runners have [only one
size](https://depot.dev/docs/github-actions/runner-types#macos-runners)_

_**NOTE:** don't use the speed of the PG-related jobs in this PR's CI
run as indicative. Tests run outside `main` may use cache, so the speed
may seem artificially low._
