It had a couple of inherent races:
1) Even if compute is killed before the call, some more data might still arrive
to safekeepers after commit_lsn on them is polled, advancing it. Then checkpoint
on pageserver might not include this tail, and so upload of expected LSN won't
happen until one more checkpoint.
2) commit_lsn is updated asynchronously -- compute can commit transaction before
communicating commit_lsn to even single safekeeper (sync-safekeepers can be used
to forces the advancement). This makes semantics of
wait_for_sk_commit_lsn_to_reach_remote_storage quite complicated.
Replace it with last_flush_lsn_upload which
1) Learns last flush LSN on compute;
2) Waits for it to arrive to pageserver;
3) Checkpoints it;
4) Waits for the upload.
In some tests this keeps compute alive longer than before, but this doesn't seem
to be important.
There is a chance this fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/3209
We use the term "endpoint" in for compute Postgres nodes in the web UI
and user-facing documentation now. Adjust the nomenclature in the code.
This changes the name of the "neon_local pg" command to "neon_local
endpoint". Also adjust names of classes, variables etc. in the python
tests accordingly.
This also changes the directory structure so that endpoints are now
stored in:
.neon/endpoints/<endpoint id>
instead of:
.neon/pgdatadirs/tenants/<tenant_id>/<endpoint (node) name>
The tenant ID is no longer part of the path. That means that you
cannot have two endpoints with the same name/ID in two different
tenants anymore. That's consistent with how we treat endpoints in the
real control plane and proxy: the endpoint ID must be globally unique.

Compaction with on-demand download (#3598)
introduced a subtle bug: if we don't have to do on-demand downloads,
we only take one ROUND in fn compact() and exit early.
Thereby, we miss scheduling the index part upload for any layers
created by fn compact_inner().
Before that commit, we didn't have this problem.
So, this patch fixes it.
Since no regression test caught this, I went ahead and extended the
timeline size tests to assert that, if remote storage is configured,
1. pageserver_remote_physical_size matches the other physical sizes
2. file sizes reported by the layer map info endpoint match the other
physical size metrics
Without the pageserver code fix, the regression test would
fail at the physical size assertion, complaining that
any of the resident physical size != remote physical size metric
50790400.0 != 18399232.0
I figured out what the problem is by comparing the remote storage
and local directories like so, and noticed that the image layer
in the local directory wasn't present on the remote side.
It's size was exactly the difference
50790400.0 - 18399232.0 =32391168.0

Before this patch, GC would call PersistentLayer::delete()
on every GC'ed layer.
RemoteLayer::delete() returned Ok(()) unconditionally.
GC would then proceed by decrementing the resident size metric,
even though the layer is a RemoteLayer.
This patch makes the following changes:
- Rename PersistentLayer::delete() to delete_resident_layer_file().
That name is unambiguous.
- Make RemoteLayer::delete_resident_layer_file return an Err().
We would have uncovered this bug if we had done that from the start.
- Change GC / Timeline::delete_historic_layer check whether
the layer is remote or not, and only call delete_resident_layer_file()
if it's not remote. This brings us in line with how eviction does it.
- Add a regression test.

Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/3439
Adds a set of commands to manipulate the layer map:
* dump the layer map contents
* evict the layer form the layer map (remove the local file, put the
remote layer instead in the layer map)
* download the layer (operation, reversing the eviction)
The commands will change later, when the statistics is added on top, so
the swagger schema is not adjusted.
The commands might have issues with big amount of layers: no pagination
is done for the dump command, eviction and download commands look for
the layer to evict/download by iterating all layers sequentially and
comparing the layer names.
For now, that seems to be tolerable ("big" number of layers is ~2_000)
and further experiments are needed.
