Replace hardcoded database saver class names with `cls` in
`from_conn_string` factory methods to improve subclassing support
## Changes
* Replaced direct class instantiations with `cls(conn)` in
`from_conn_string` classmethods across all database implementations
* Updated both synchronous and asynchronous variants for DuckDB,
PostgreSQL, and SQLite savers
## Why
This refactor makes the database saver classes more extensible by
following Python's convention of using `cls` in class methods. This
enables proper inheritance patterns where subclasses can reuse the
factory methods without needing to override them. Previously, the
hardcoded class names would always instantiate the parent class, even
when called from a subclass.
## Testing
The change is backward compatible and doesn't alter existing
functionality. All existing tests should continue to pass as this is
purely a structural refactoring that preserves the current behavior
while improving extensibility.
## Notes
This PR addresses follow up on comments from #2518 - AsyncPostgresSaver
didn't need to be fixed but many of the other DB saver classes did.
* Implement serialization with msgpack library
- encode custom python objects with a msgpack extension type, with constructor path string, and args encoded as nested msgpack doc
* Smaller msgpack extension types
* Update lock files
* lock
* Don't delegate to pydantic json
* Fix kafka serde
- should use our serializer to load, as inputs to subgraphs are serialized using it
* Performance improvements in checkpointer libs
- Use sha1 instead of md5 for hashing (faster in python 3.x)
- Use orjson instead of json for json dumping (sadly can't use for json loading)
* Update tests
* Update
* Use random number instead of hash for get_version_number
* Avoid saving writes for the last task to complete in each step
- only when possible, exceptions for ERROR, INTERRUPT, SEND
* Make Channel.from_checkpoint a regular function
- context manager no longer needed since Context became a managed value
* Use __slots__ for Channels
* Fix for kafka
* Fix semantics of put_writes/list
- put_writes(error) should not prevent saving future successful if task is retried successfully
- put_writes(writes) should be a no-op if non-error writes already exist for that task (this prevents tasks executed more than once from modifying writes previously saved / acted on)
- checkpoints should not include channel default values (ie those without a version)
- list() should fetch and return writes for each checkpoint
* Lint
* Rm print
* Fix import
* Lint
