76fc3d4aa1 Evict WAL files from disk (#8022)
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6337

Add safekeeper support to switch between `Present` and
`Offloaded(flush_lsn)` states. The offloading is disabled by default,
but can be controlled using new cmdline arguments:

```
      --enable-offload
          Enable automatic switching to offloaded state
      --delete-offloaded-wal
          Delete local WAL files after offloading. When disabled, they will be left on disk
      --control-file-save-interval <CONTROL_FILE_SAVE_INTERVAL>
          Pending updates to control file will be automatically saved after this interval [default: 300s]
```

Manager watches state updates and detects when there are no actvity on
the timeline and actual partial backup upload in remote storage. When
all conditions are met, the state can be switched to offloaded.

In `timeline.rs` there is `StateSK` enum to support switching between
states. When offloaded, code can access only control file structure and
cannot use `SafeKeeper` to accept new WAL.

`FullAccessTimeline` is now renamed to `WalResidentTimeline`. This
struct contains guard to notify manager about active tasks requiring
on-disk WAL access. All guards are issued by the manager, all requests
are sent via channel using `ManagerCtl`. When manager receives request
to issue a guard, it unevicts timeline if it's currently evicted.

Fixed a bug in partial WAL backup, it used `term` instead of
`last_log_term` previously.

After this commit is merged, next step is to roll this change out, as in
issue #6338.

bd5cb9e86b Implement timeline_manager for safekeeper background tasks (#7768)
In safekeepers we have several background tasks. Previously `WAL backup`
task was spawned by another task called `wal_backup_launcher`. That task
received notifications via `wal_backup_launcher_rx` and decided to spawn
or kill existing backup task associated with the timeline. This was
inconvenient because each code segment that touched shared state was
responsible for pushing notification into `wal_backup_launcher_tx`
channel. This was error prone because it's easy to miss and could lead
to deadlock in some cases, if notification pushing was done in the wrong
order.

We also had a similar issue with `is_active` timeline flag. That flag
was calculated based on the state and code modifying the state had to
call function to update the flag. We had a few bugs related to that,
when we forgot to update `is_active` flag in some places where it could
change.

To fix these issues, this PR adds a new `timeline_manager` background
task associated with each timeline. This task is responsible for
managing all background tasks, including `is_active` flag which is used
for pushing broker messages. It is subscribed for updates in timeline
state in a loop and decides to spawn/kill background tasks when needed.

There is a new structure called `TimelinesSet`. It stores a set of
`Arc<Timeline>` and allows to copy the set to iterate without holding
the mutex. This is what replaced `is_active` flag for the broker. Now
broker push task holds a reference to the `TimelinesSet` with active
timelines and use it instead of iterating over all timelines and
filtering by `is_active` flag.

Also added some metrics for manager iterations and active backup tasks.
Ideally manager should be doing not too many iterations and we should
not have a lot of backup tasks spawned at the same time.

Fixes #7751
