Improves `wait_until` by:
* Use `timeout` instead of `iterations`. This allows changing the
timeout/interval parameters independently.
* Make `timeout` and `interval` optional (default 20s and 0.5s). Most
callers don't care.
* Only output status every 1s by default, and add optional
`status_interval` parameter.
* Remove `show_intermediate_error`, this was always emitted anyway.
Most callers have been updated to use the defaults, except where they
had good reason otherwise.
Previously it inserted ~150MiB of WAL while expecting page fetching to
work in 1s (wait_lsn_timeout=1s). It failed in CI in debug builds.
Instead, just directly wait for the wanted condition, i.e. needed
safekeepers are reported in pageserver timed out waiting for WAL error
message. Also set NEON_COMPUTE_TESTING_BASEBACKUP_RETRIES to 1 in this
test and neighbour one, it reduces execution time from 2.5m to ~10s.
Add wrappers for a few commands that didn't have them before. Move the
logic to generate tenant and timeline IDs from NeonCli to the callers,
so that NeonCli is more purely just a type-safe wrapper around
'neon_local'.

The logging in this commit will make it easier to detect lagging ingest.
We're trusting compute timestamps --- ideally we'd use SK timestmaps
instead.
But trusting the compute timestamp is ok for now.
Before this PR, the changed tests would overwrite the entire
`tenant_config` because `pageserver_config_override` is merged
non-recursively into the `ps_cfg`.
This meant they would override the
`PAGESERVER_DEFAULT_TENANT_CONFIG_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM`, impacting our
matrix build for `compaction_algorithm=Tiered|Legacy` in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7748.
I found the tests fixed in this PR using the
`NEON_PAGESERVER_PANIC_ON_UNSPECIFIED_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM` env var that
I added in #7748. Therefore, I think this is an exhaustive fix. This is
better than just searching the code base for `tenant_config`, which is
what I had sketched in #7747.

I observe sporadic reconnections with ~10k idle computes. It looks like a
separate issue, probably walreceiver runtime gets blocked somewhere, but in any
case 2-3 seconds is too small.
This adds test coverage for 'compute_ctl', as it is now used by all
the python tests.
There are a few differences in how 'compute_ctl' is called in the
tests, compared to the real web console:
- In the tests, the postgresql.conf file is included as one large
string in the spec file, and it is written out as it is to the data
directory. I added a new field for that to the spec file. The real
web console, however, sets all the necessary settings in the
'settings' field, and 'compute_ctl' creates the postgresql.conf from
those settings.
- In the tests, the information needed to connect to the storage, i.e.
tenant_id, timeline_id, connection strings to pageserver and
safekeepers, are now passed as new fields in the spec file. The real
web console includes them as the GUCs in the 'settings' field. (Both
of these are different from what the test control plane used to do:
It used to write the GUCs directly in the postgresql.conf file). The
plan is to change the control plane to use the new method, and
remove the old method, but for now, support both.
Some tests that were sensitive to the amount of WAL generated needed
small changes, to accommodate that compute_ctl runs the background
health monitor which makes a few small updates. Also some tests shut
down the pageserver, and now that the background health check can run
some queries while the pageserver is down, that can produce a few
extra errors in the logs, which needed to be allowlisted.
Other changes:
- remove obsolete comments about PostgresNode;
- create standby.signal file for Static compute node;
- log output of `compute_ctl` and `postgres` is merged into
`endpoints/compute.log`.

As the issue requests, the PR adds the context in logs only, but I think
we should expose the context via HTTP management API similar way — it
should be simple with the new API, but better be done in a separate PR.
