rays c9964778cb Give SQLite several connections, so requests are answered at once (#136)
SeaORM gives a SQLite pool one connection unless told otherwise, and connect() did not say, so
every request, every scan write and every read went through it in turn. Twenty-five people
browsing in the load tests (#133) got 50 requests a second out of 12 cores, the fastest answers
in 3-30ms and the medians ten times that.

SQLite now gets eight. In WAL readers run beside the one writer. Every transaction here writes
first, so it takes the write lock or waits out the busy timeout for it; SQLite refuses at once
only a transaction holding a snapshot a write has moved past, and none here does. Db::memory
switches its file to WAL too, as Db::open does, so the tests share it as the daemon does. A test
holds a write open and reads beside it, and fails with one connection.

The same browsing: a feed's items at p95 10ms where it was 133, a search 22 where 119, the feed
list 89 where 242. The load tests' SQLite budgets are tightened to match; the Rust tests take
2.8s where they took 7.5.

// Load tests: k6 against a scratch daemon with a catalogue the size of production's, for what
// the browser tests cannot show -- many people at once, and what that does to latency, to the
// database and to the healthcheck. The browser suite drives one person against a handful of
// feeds, one request at a time.
//
// node tests/load/run.js [--postgres] [browse|listening|media|signin ...] default: all four
//
// It builds a release binary (debug Argon2 alone takes a second a sign-in, which would measure
// the build, not ipx), serves generated feeds from this process, starts a daemon on its own
// config and data under /tmp/ipx-load, wiped first, seeds listeners, then runs each k6 script.
// While each runs, `ipx status` -- the Docker healthcheck -- is run every second, and the run
// fails if any answer takes as long as the healthcheck's 5s timeout.
//
// The daemon is on SQLite unless --postgres, which puts it in IPX_TEST_DATABASE_URL, the
// database the Rust tests use on Postgres too (ipodderx_test on the server production's is on, in
// /src/.envrc), in a schema of its own, ipx_load, made afresh each run (#139). Postgres's numbers
// are what production would see.
// IPX_LOAD_FEEDS sets the catalogue's size (1500, near production's), IPX_LOAD_USERS the
// listeners (100), IPX_LOAD_LOG=1 shows the daemon's log.
