fix(compute_ctl): Resolve issues with dropping roles having dangling permissions (#10299)

## Problem

In Postgres, one cannot drop a role if it has any dependent objects in
the DB. In `compute_ctl`, we automatically reassign all dependent
objects in every DB to the corresponding DB owner. Yet, it seems that it
doesn't help with some implicit permissions. The issue is reproduced by
installing a `postgis` extension because it creates some views and
tables in the public schema.

## Summary of changes

Added a repro test without using a `postgis`: i) create a role via
`compute_ctl` (with `neon_superuser` grant); ii) create a test role, a
table in schema public, and grant permissions via the role in
`neon_superuser`.

To fix the issue, I added a new `compute_ctl` code that removes such
dangling permissions before dropping the role. It's done in the least
invasive way, i.e., only touches the schema public, because i) that's
the problem we had with PostGIS; ii) it creates a smaller chance of
messing anything up and getting a stuck operation again, just for a
different reason.

Properly, any API-based catalog operations should fail gracefully and
provide an actionable error and status code to the control plane,
allowing the latter to unwind the operation and propagate an error
message and hint to the user. In this sense, it's aligned with another
feature request https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21611
