Description

Right now the error messages aren't very verbose with PostgreSQL when a migration fails, e.g.:

Failed with: syntax error at or near "."

It would be helpful to also display line/column position of the error in the file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Diesel currently handles PostgreSQL error messages and identify where line/column information is available. Look into the `diesel migrations` crate and error formatting code.
