Bug: .query() errors when using select value

[AlexFrid]

Describe the bug

select value returns a slightly different shape than a normal select, the fix would be to add a check for that before returning the response.
ie. response["result"][0]["result"]

Also, add a check for returning a single value

Steps to reproduce

Returning just a list
db.query("select value name from person")

Returning just a value
db.query("return 'stuff' ")

Expected behaviour

Return the results like a normal select

From what I understand the following:

response1 = await self.connection.query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = user:tobie;")
print(response1)

prints out the structure below:

[{'id': RecordID(table_name=user, record_id=tobie), 'name': 'Tobie'}]

Then the following:

response2 = await self.connection.query("SELECT VALUE name FROM user WHERE id = user:tobie;")
print(response2)

Gives us the structure below:

['Tobie']

And the second one should be this?

[{'name': 'Tobie'}]

Could this be a error in the response at the database level? For instance, an example raw response I'm getting from SELECT VALUE name FROM user WHERE id = user:tobie; is:

b'\xa2bidx$86fa232d-ab78-4478-9363-ae3757b27d15fresult\x81\xa3fresult\x81eTobiefstatusbOKdtimej158.709\xc2\xb5s'

Where there's no column data. And the raw response from SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = user:tobie; is below:

b'\xa2bidx$ac31620b-d3d6-4bac-aca9-c04ca16acb39fresult\x81\xa3fresult\x81\xa2bid\xc8\x82duseretobiednameeTobiefstatusbOKdtimej250.958\xc2\xb5s'

We can see from the SELECT VALUE name FROM user WHERE id = user:tobie; raw response that there is no name field.
