 Connection timeout is disabled, to account for situations where the database

+Moreover for particular kv tables we also add the option to access the

 ## Important note about replication
 
 In case a replication architecture is planned, streaming replication should be avoided, as the master does not verify the replica is indeed identical, but it will only forward the edits queue, and let the slave catch up autonomously; synchronous mode, albeit slower, is paramount for `lnd` data integrity across the copies, as it will finalize writes only after the slave confirmed successful replication.

 ## Performance Improvements

+ `db.postgres.channeldb-with-global-lock` and 
+ `db.postgres.walletdb-with-global-lock` to allow fine-grained control over
+  database concurrency. The channeldb global lock defaults to `false` to enable
+  concurrent access, while the wallet global lock defaults to `true` to maintain
+  safe single-writer behavior until the wallet subsystem is fully 
+  concurrent-safe.
