add postgres support

[zilkey]

I'd like to use experimental, but I'm on postgres. It does not seem to be trivial to convert the existing mysql functions to postgres, but I have a version that seems to be equivalent.

The ruby version is:

top_8 = Digest::MD5.hexdigest("#{experiment_name}#{user.id}")[0...16]
top_8.to_i(16) % num_buckets

The SQL version is:

select abs(('x'|| substr(md5('experiment-name' || id),1,16))::bit(64)::bigint) % 2 from users;

Are there any plans to include different database adapters in this gem?

Please disregard the code above. The sql does not match the ruby.

To support ruby, could we change the algorithm to something simpler? Like, having a random seed number in the config file, then just adding that random number to the user's id? (an idea from @dlikhten)

That way, the math would be super simple in the database, and would be database agnostic.

Less math = always my favorite approach. 👍
