Description

Analyse if it would make sense to test db-sync rollbacks with `cardano-node-tests` framework.
Currently the only way to invoke rollback is to stop current db-sync process and start it again with flag `--rollback-to-slot` :

```cardano-db-sync
Usage: cardano-db-sync (COMMAND | --config FILEPATH --socket-path FILEPATH
[--state-dir FILEPATH] --schema-dir FILEPATH
[--pg-pass-env ENV] [--disable-epoch] [--disable-cache]
[--disable-ledger] [--skip-fix] [--fix-only]
[--force-indexes] [--disable-multiassets]
[--disable-metadata] [--disable-plutus-extra]
[--disable-offline-data] [--turbo] [--full]
[--consumed-tx-out] [--prune-tx-out]
[--rollback-to-slot WORD])
```

This might be a time consuming process - however on a test blockchain with minimal amount of data this could be a faster process than on real networks either test ones or `mainnet`.

This should be probably run after all regular cluster tests are finished so we have test data including all `conway` era tests and check if rollback propagates properly and deletes all data. Currently some columns , tables might be ignored during rollbacks.

Detailed list of tables / columns / cases (flag configurations causing issues) would be needed in case this would make sense to implement and we wanted to proceed with idea - but for now just the concept itself can be checked from the efficiency point of view and how much time consuming it would be.
