Yorhel 2f33e7f4b5 FU: Initial transition from TUWF
Seems to be working alright, and it does clean up a few things. The
biggest missing thing right now is schema-based validation for some
query parameters. I'm also seeing opportunities for FU::Pg to act as a
hash/shorthash codec, simplifying some error-prone manual conversions.

- **sql/** -> Database schema & updates.
- **util/** -> Cron job and scripts to run **indexer/** on the right repositories.
