DBZ-2027 Upgrading Postgres JDBC driver to 42.2.12;

The driver upgrade mitigates some issues with using this connector with
Postgres on Azure. It comes with some behavioural changes, though:

* column metadata for DECIMAL without scale is returned differently by
the (see pgjdbc/pgjdbc#1767): while it used
to be returned as 0, it's now returned as null. This should be
transparent to DBZ consumers
* snapshots for partitioned tables only export change events on the
partition topics now due to pgjdbc/pgjdbc#1708;
this has an impact on consumers, but I think it's more reasonable than
exporting all change events twice, one partition table and main table
topics
