walredo: log retryed error (#546)
With the logs from that commit, we learned that some read() or write()
system call that walredo does fails with `EAGAIN`, aka
`Resource temporarily unavailable (os error 11)`.
But we have no idea where exactly in the code we get back that error.
So, use anyhow instead of fake std::io::Error's as an easy way to get
a backtrace when the error happens, and change the logging to print
that backtrace (i.e., use `{:?}` instead of
`utils::error::report_compact_sources(e)`).
The `WalRedoError` type had to go because we add additional `.context()`
further up the call chain before we `{:?}`-print it. That additional
`.context()` further up doesn't see that there's already an
anyhow::Error
inside the `WalRedoError::ApplyWalRecords` variant, and hence captures
another backtrace and prints that one on `{:?}`-print instead of the
original one inside `WalRedoError::ApplyWalRecords`.
If we ever switch back to `report_compact_sources`, we should make sure
we have some other way to uniquely identify the places where we return
an error in the error message.
Fixes#4689 by replacing all of `std::Path` , `std::PathBuf` with
`camino::Utf8Path`, `camino::Utf8PathBuf` in
- pageserver
- safekeeper
- control_plane
- libs/remote_storage

Accidentially giving is_incremental=true for ImageLayers costs a lot of
debugging time. Removes all API which would allow to do that. They can
easily be restored later *when needed*.
Split off from #4938.
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4340
## Summary of changes
Remove LayerDescriptor and remove `todo!`. At the same time, this PR
adds `AsLayerDesc` trait for all persistent layers and changed
`LayerFileManager` to have a generic type. For tests, we are now using
`LayerObject`, which is a wrapper around `PersistentLayerDesc`.

## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4392, continuation
of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4408
## Summary of changes
This PR removes all layer objects from LayerMap and moves it to the
timeline struct. In timeline struct, LayerFileManager maps a layer
descriptor to a layer object, and it is stored in the same RwLock as
LayerMap to avoid behavior difference.
Key changes:
* LayerMap now does not have generic, and only stores descriptors.
* In Timeline, we add a new struct called layer mapping.
* Currently, layer mapping is stored in the same lock with layer map.
Every time we retrieve data from the layer map, we will need to map the
descriptor to the actual object.
* Replace_historic is moved to layer mapping's replace, and the return
value behavior is different from before. I'm a little bit unsure about
this part and it would be good to have some comments on that.
* Some test cases are rewritten to adapt to the new interface, and we
can decide whether to remove it in the future because it does not make
much sense now.
* LayerDescriptor is moved to `tests` module and should only be intended
for unit testing / benchmarks.
* Because we now have a usage pattern like "take the guard of lock, then
get the reference of two fields", we want to avoid dropping the
incorrect object when we intend to unlock the lock guard. Therefore, a
new set of helper function `drop_r/wlock` is added. This can be removed
in the future when we finish the refactor.
TODOs after this PR: fully remove RemoteLayer, and move LayerMapping to
a separate LayerCache.

## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4392
## Summary of changes
This PR adds a new HashMap that maps persistent layer desc to the layer
object *inside* LayerMap. Originally I directly went towards adding such
layer cache in Timeline, but the changes are too many and cannot be
reviewed as a reasonably-sized PR. Therefore, we take this intermediate
step to change part of the codebase to use persistent layer desc, and
come up with other PRs to move this hash map of layer desc to the
timeline struct.
Also, file_size is now part of the layer desc.

This reverts commit 732acc5.
Reverted PR: #3869
As noted in PR #4094, we do in fact try to insert duplicates to the
layer map, if L0->L1 compaction is interrupted. We do not have a proper
fix for that right now, and we are in a hurry to make a release to
production, so revert the changes related to this to the state that we
have in production currently. We know that we have a bug here, but
better to live with the bug that we've had in production for a long
time, than rush a fix to production without testing it in staging first.

Adds a method to replace a particular layer from the LayerMap for the
purposes of remote layer download and layer eviction. In those use cases
read lock on layer map needs to be released after initial search, but
other operations could modify layermap before replacing thread gets to
run.

1.66 release speeds up compile times for over 10% according to tests.
Also its Clippy finds plenty of old nits in our code:
* useless conversion, `foo as u8` where `foo: u8` and similar, removed
`as u8` and similar
* useless references and dereferenced (that were automatically adjusted
by the compiler), removed various `&` and `*`
* bool -> u8 conversion via `if/else`, changed to `u8::from`
* Map `.iter()` calls where only values were used, changed to
`.values()` instead
Standing out lints:
* `Eq` is missing in our protoc generated structs. Silenced, does not
seem crucial for us.
* `fn default` looks like the one from `Default` trait, so I've
implemented that instead and replaced the `dummy_*` method in tests with
`::default()` invocation
* Clippy detected that
```

is a saturating add and proposed to replace it.
refactor: use new type LayerFileName when referring to layer file names in PathBuf/RemotePath
Before this patch, we would sometimes carry around plain file names in
`Path` types and/or awkwardly "rebase" paths to have a unified
representation of the layer file name between local and remote.
This patch introduces a new type `LayerFileName` which replaces the use
of `Path` / `PathBuf` / `RemotePath` in the `storage_sync2` APIs.
Instead of holding a string, it contains the parsed representation of
the image and delta file name.
When we need the file name, e.g., to construct a local path or
remote object key, we construct the name ad-hoc.
`LayerFileName` is also serde {Dese,Se}rializable, and in an initial
version of this patch, it was supposed to be used directly inside
`IndexPart`, replacing `RemotePath`.
However,
commit 3122f3282f
Ignore backup files (ones with .n.old suffix) in download_missing
fixed handling of `*.old` backup file names in IndexPart, and we need
to carry that behavior forward.
The solution is to remove `*.old` backup files names during
deserialization. When we re-serialize the IndexPart, the `*.old` file
will be gone.
This leaks the `.old` file in the remote storage, but makes it safe
to clean it up later.
There is additional churn by a preliminary refactoring that got squashed
into this change:
split off LayerMap's needs from trait Layer into super trait
That refactoring renames `Layer` to `PersistentLayer` and splits off a subset
of the functions into a super-trait called `Layer`.
The upser trait implements just the functions needed by `LayerMap`, whereas
`PersisentLayer` adds the context of the pageserver.
The naming is imperfect as some functions that reside in `PersistentLayer`
have nothing persistence-specific to it. But it's a step in the right direction.
