Rework aiopg.sa.result module with Cython.

[AndreiPashkin]

I've noticed that classes ResultProxy and RowProxy are bottlenecks in one of my projects and that other libraries like SQLAlchemy or Asyncpg implement similar classes in C for speed [1], [2].

I decided to start experimenting with doing the same thing in Aiopg - I've done some simple optimizations using Cython and already got some positive results using this benchmark setup: https://gist.github.com/AndreiPashkin/dd6aa232f91deaa987b5ee0285ad9b7d

Results before:

simple [1.3329865639971104, 1.3546994640055345, 1.349644674002775]
json [1.6616086649883073, 2.042356903999462, 2.0650724380102474]

Results after:

simple [0.5680085269996198, 0.5687800829909975, 0.5716462380078156]
json [0.8984643409930868, 0.8978340939938789, 0.8937820449937135]

What do maintainers think about this? I it worth to continue? Maybe it's even worth to simply re-use fast ResultProxy implementation from SQLAlchemy?

Are there changes in behavior for the user?

Theoretically everything should be backwards-compatible

@asvetlov, couple of concrete questions:

1. Is ability to index by SQLAlchemy columns really needed? Can it be dropped?
2. Can lazy processing of row values with processors be replaced with eager processing?
