Sync code from ClickHouse/clickhouse-connect

[jovezhong]

https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-connect is the Python lib for ClickHouse
I guess it was renamed and refactored.

I am trying to port the latest clickhouse dbt plugin https://github.com/ClickHouse/dbt-clickhouse to Timeplus, but that code requires clickhouse_connect. There is no easy way to change the lib name to make it work, since many function calls in clickhouse_connect and this proton-python are different.

I would suggest updating this repo to sync the code from clickhouse-connect. If that'll create too many breaking change, maybe create a new timeplus-py-connect repo

I created a fork at https://github.com/timeplus-io/timeplus-connect
It seems that the proton-driver was forked from a community-driven Python lib for ClickHouse, based on TCP. https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-connect is a new Python lib created and maintained by ClickHouse team, using HTTP port for maximum compatibility, and other tools in the Python ecosystem are based on the clickhouse-connect, such as dbt/dlt/superset. Please work on https://github.com/timeplus-io/timeplus-connect to let it support timeplusd and Proton.
