Do not use the postgresql_user/postgresql_db modules

While these modules are really nice and helpful, we can't use them
for at least 2 reasons:

- for us, Postgres runs in a container on a private Docker network
(`--network=matrix`) without usually being exposed to the host.
These modules execute on the host so they won't be able to reach it.

- these modules require `psycopg2`, so we need to install it before
using it. This might or might not be its own can of worms.
