compute_ctl: Auto-set dynamic_shared_memory_type (#7348)

Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047.

The basic idea is that for our VMs, we want to enable swap and disable
Linux memory overcommit. Alongside these, we should set postgres'
dynamic_shared_memory_type to mmap, but we want to avoid setting it to
mmap if swap is not enabled.

Implementing this in the control plane would be fiddly, but it's
relatively straightforward to add to compute_ctl.
