feat(compute): Introduce privileged_role_name parameter (#12539)

## Problem

Currently `neon_superuser` is hardcoded in many places. It makes it
harder to reuse the same code in different envs.

## Summary of changes

Parametrize `neon_superuser` in `compute_ctl` via
`--privileged-role-name` and in `neon` extensions via
`neon.privileged_role_name`, so it's now possible to use different
'superuser' role names if needed. Everything still defaults to
`neon_superuser`, so no control plane code changes are needed and I
intentionally do not touch regression and migrations tests.
