RegisterDriver registers a Postgres driver that uses the cloudsqlconn.Dialer
configured with the provided options. The choice of name is entirely up to
the caller and may be used to distinguish between multiple registrations of
differently configured Dialers. The driver uses pgx/v5 internally.
RegisterDriver returns a cleanup function that should be called one the
database connection is no longer needed.
