dev: run codeinsights-db (TimescaleDB) as part of dev server

Warren Gifford requested to merge sg/dev-run-codeinsights-db into main

Created by: slimsag

We plan to deploy TimescaleDB as a standalone container in our deployments as the database backend for Code Insights, see: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/17218

This runs the re-tagged sourcegraph/codeinsights-db TimescaleDB image in our dev environments. This is different from how we run Postgres, where we require devs to install and run it themselves. I think that running it in Docker is nicer for most devs, and we can always add an option to disable it later if anyone is interested in installing/running it on their machine seperately.

Note that one cannot generally connect it to the same Postgres DB, because TimescaleDB is often version-incompatible with the Postgres version we run in dev environments (9.6 or latest 13, TimescaleDB only supports 11/12)
