sql,backupccl: stop using StartableJobs when not needed

We were using `StartableJob`s in the schema change job and the restore
job to start more jobs. This was unnecessary because we didn't need the
ability to get results from the job resumer that `StartableJob`
provide. It also incurred problems because creating a `StartableJob`
creates state that can't be cleaned up if the transaction was restarted.

This commit switches those jobs to normal jobs that are claimed and
started by the registry. To recover the behavior where jobs are started
"immediately," we notify the job registry adoption loop.

Some schema change tests had to be skipped because they relied on the
ability of the schema change job to manually start jobs.

Release note: None
