database/sql: add OpenDB to directly create a *DB without a DSN.

The current Open method limits the ability for driver maintainers
to expose options for their drivers by forcing all the configuration
to pass through the DSN in order to create a *DB.

This CL allows driver maintainers to write their own initialization
functions that return a *DB making configuration of the underlying
drivers easier.

Fixes #20268
