Resolve "Investigate elevated `db_duration_s`during enabled `use_traversal_ids` FF"

What does this MR do?

Provide a way to call recursive namespace traversal queries even when the linear queries feature flag (use_traversal_ids) is enabled. This allows us to side step complications in roll out.

In EpicsFinder we force a #self_and_descendants recursive query over the linear query when the use_traversal_ids is true.

The recursive query:

WITH RECURSIVE "base_and_descendants" AS
    (
    (SELECT "namespaces".*
    FROM "namespaces"
    WHERE "namespaces"."type" = 'Group' AND "namespaces"."id" = 1)
UNION
    (SELECT "namespaces".*
    FROM "namespaces", "base_and_descendants"
    WHERE "namespaces"."type" = 'Group' AND "namespaces"."parent_id" = "base_and_descendants"."id"))
SELECT "namespaces".*
FROM "base_and_descendants" AS "namespaces"

The linear query:

SELECT "namespaces".*
FROM "namespaces"
WHERE (traversal_ids @>
  (SELECT traversal_ids as latest_traversal_ids
  FROM "namespaces"
  WHERE (id = (1)))
)
