enable linter using golangci-lint across
codebase to run a bunch of linters together,
we shall enable new linters as we fix more
things the codebase.
This PR fixes the first stage of this
cleanup.
The SQL parser as it stands right now ignores alias for aggregate
result, e.g. `SELECT COUNT(*) AS thing FROM s3object` doesn't actually
return record like `{"thing": 42}`, it returns a record like `{"_1": 42}`.
Column alias for aggregate result is supported in AWS's S3 Select, so
this commit fixes that by respecting the `expr.As` in the expression.
Also improve test for S3 select
On top of testing a simple `SELECT` query, we want to test a few more
"advanced" queries (e.g. aggregation).
Convert existing tests into table driven tests[1], and add the new test
cases with "advanced" queries into them.

Batching records into a single SQL Select message in the response
leads to significant speed up as the message header overhead is made
negligible.
This change leads to a speed up of 3-5x for queries that select many
small records.
This improves the performance of certain queries dramatically,
such as 'count(*)' etc.

Almost a 250% improvement in performance. This PR avoids a lot of type
conversions and instead relies on raw sequences of data and interprets
them lazily.
