Better defaults for Postgres connection URL

See original GitHub issue

Right now we require:

postgresql://m@localhost:5432/prisma-demo?schema=public

This can be expressed in Postgres’ built-in psql with:

psql prisma-demo

We should provide the query engine with the same defaults that the psql supports.

To clarify the scope. I’d suggest the following changes for Postgres:

Given postgres://username:password@host:port/database?schema=public

username defaults to your operating system username
password defaults to an empty string (we already do this.)
schema defaults to public
port defaults to 5432

Not sure, just thinking through what it means.

I agree that the handling of connection strings has to be improved.
