Part 1 of 2, for moving the file cache onto disk.
Because VMs are created by the control plane (and that's where the
filesystem for the file cache is defined), we can't rely on any kind of
synchronization between releases, so the change needs to be
feature-gated (kind of), with the default remaining the same for now.

## Problem
Currently, anything that uses backoff::retry will delay the join of its
task by however long its backoff sleep is, multiplied by its max
retries.
Whenever we call a function that sleeps, we should be passing in a
CancellationToken.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `Cancel` type to backoff::retry that wraps a CancellationToken
and an error `Fn` to generate an error if the cancellation token fires.
- In call sites that already run in a `task_mgr` task, use
`shutdown_token()` to provide the token. In other locations, use a dead
`CancellationToken` to satisfy the interface, and leave a TODO to fix it
up when we broaden the use of explicit cancellation tokens.
The existing derive'd Serialize/Deserialize were not used anywhere.
To enable using TenantTimelineId as a key in JSON maps, serialize
as a comma separated string. This is also a more compact
representation.
- move them to pageserver which is the only dependant on the crate fail
- "move" the exported macro to the new module
- support at init time the same failpoints as runtime
Found while debugging test failures and making tests more repeatable by
allowing "exit" from pageserver start via environment variables. Made
those changes to `test_gc_cutoff.py`.

Don't download ext_index.json from s3, but instead receive it as a part of spec from control plane.
This eliminates s3 access for most compute starts,
and also allows us to update extensions spec on the fly
For `delete_objects` it was injecting failures for whole delete_objects operation
and then for every delete it contains. Make it fail once for the whole operation.
## Problem
Deletions can be possibly reordered. Use fsync to avoid the case when
mark file doesnt exist but other tenant/timeline files do.
See added comments.
resolves#4987
#4942 left old metrics in place for migration purposes. It was noticed
that from new metrics the total number of deleted objects was forgotten,
add it.
While reviewing, it was noticed that the delete_object could just be
delete_objects of one.

Originated from test failure where we got SlowDown error from s3.
The patch generalizes `download_retry` to not be download specific.
Resulting `retry` function is moved to utils crate. `download_retries`
is now a thin wrapper around this `retry` function.
To ensure that all needed retries are in place test code now uses
`test_remote_failures=1` setting.

We don't know how our s3 remote_storage is performing, or if it's
blocking the shutdown. Well, for sampling reasons, we will not really
know even after this PR.
Add metrics:
- align remote_storage metrics towards #4813 goals
- histogram
`remote_storage_s3_request_seconds{request_type=(get_object|put_object|delete_object|list_objects),
result=(ok|err|cancelled)}`
- histogram `remote_storage_s3_wait_seconds{request_type=(same kinds)}`
- counter `remote_storage_s3_cancelled_waits_total{request_type=(same
kinds)}`
Follow-up work:
- After release, remove the old metrics, migrate dashboards
Histogram buckets are rough guesses, need to be tuned. In pageserver we
have a download timeout of 120s, so I think the 100s bucket is quite
nice.
Add infrastructure to dynamically load postgres extensions and shared libraries from remote extension storage.
Before postgres start downloads list of available remote extensions and libraries, and also downloads 'shared_preload_libraries'. After postgres is running, 'compute_ctl' listens for HTTP requests to load files.
Postgres has new GUC 'extension_server_port' to specify port on which 'compute_ctl' listens for requests.
When PostgreSQL requests a file, 'compute_ctl' downloads it.

We want to have timeline_written_size_delta which is defined as
difference to the previously sent `timeline_written_size` from the
current `timeline_written_size`.
Solution is to send it. On the first round `disk_consistent_lsn` is used
which is captured during `load` time. After that an incremental "event"
is sent on every collection. Incremental "events" are not part of
deduplication.
I've added some infrastructure to allow somewhat typesafe
`EventType::Absolute` and `EventType::Incremental` factories per
metrics, now that we have our first `EventType::Incremental` usage.
## Problem
Currently we delete local files first, so if pageserver restarts after
local files deletion then remote deletion is not continued. This can be
solved with inversion of these steps.
But even if these steps are inverted when index_part.json is deleted
there is no way to distinguish between "this timeline is good, we just
didnt upload it to remote" and "this timeline is deleted we should
continue with removal of local state". So to solve it we use another
mark file. After index part is deleted presence of this mark file
indentifies that it was a deletion intention.
Alternative approach that was discussed was to delete all except
metadata first, and then delete metadata and index part. In this case we
still do not support local only configs making them rather unsafe
(deletion in them is already unsafe, but this direction solidifies this
direction instead of fixing it). Another downside is that if we crash
after local metadata gets removed we may leave dangling index part on
the remote which in theory shouldnt be a big deal because the file is
small.
It is not a big change to choose another approach at this point.
## Summary of changes
Timeline deletion sequence:
1. Set deleted_at in remote index part.
2. Create local mark file.
3. Delete local files except metadata (it is simpler this way, to be
able to reuse timeline initialization code that expects metadata)
4. Delete remote layers
5. Delete index part
6. Delete meta, timeline directory.
7. Delete mark file.
This works for local only configuration without remote storage.
Sequence is resumable from any point.
resolves#4453
resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4552 (the issue was
created with async cancellation in mind, but we can still have issues
with retries if metadata is deleted among the first by remove_dir_all
(which doesnt have any ordering guarantees))
