As a user, I want to know if the DB is down. Our alarms should go off if the DB is down, not just when there are celery errors. This is a followup from this incident: 2023-02-21-celery-errors-database-upgraded-automatically, where the devs discovered the DB was down because of celery errors (and wouldn't have otherwise).
Acceptance Criteria
[ ] If the DB goes down, we should get a cloudwatch alarm indicating likewise.
QA Steps
[ ] Test that the alarm goes off when the DB is down
