database/sql: allow OpenConnector in a driver.Driver interface

While driver.Connector was previously added to allow non-string
connection arguments and access to the context, most users of
the sql package will continue to rely on a string DSN.

Allow drivers to implement a string DSN to Connector interface
that both allows a single parsing of the string DSN and uses
the Connector interface which passes available context to
the driver dialer.

Fixes #22713
