Give hydra a database backend

Newer versions of hydra do not by default support the "memory" DSN. Consulting with the ory people, they advice to use a database backend anyway to seemlessly survive upgrades.

This issue is about migrating to database backend

Problems with memory backend:

  • A hydra crash, update or restart will cancel all current active sessions, consents
  • A hydra crash, update or restart will required to re-apply all client config (solved by hydra measter)

Problems with db backend:

  • Extra dependency, then again, this once already exists for kratos
