Following from discussion on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5436 where hacking an implicit
die-on-fatal-io behavior into an Error type was a source of disagreement
-- in this PR, dying on fatal I/O errors is explicit, with `fatal_err`
and `maybe_fatal_err` helpers in the `MaybeFatalIo` trait, which is
implemented for std::io::Result.
To enable this approach with `crashsafe_overwrite`, the return type of
that function is changed to std::io::Result -- the previous error enum
for this function was not used for any logic, and the utility of saying
exactly which step in the function failed is outweighed by the hygiene
of having an I/O funciton return an io::Result.
The initial use case for these helpers is the deletion queue.
## Problem
If a caller detaches a tenant and then attaches it again, pending
deletions from the old attachment might not have happened yet. This is
not a correctness problem, but it causes:
- Risk of leaking some objects in S3
- Some warnings from the deletion queue when pending LSN updates and
pending deletions don't pass validation.
## Summary of changes
- Deletion queue now uses UnboundedChannel so that the push interfaces
don't have to be async.
- This was pulled out of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5397,
where it is also useful to be able to drive the queue from non-async
contexts.
- Why is it okay for this to be unbounded? The only way the
unbounded-ness of the channel can become a problem is if writing out
deletion lists can't keep up, but if the system were that overloaded
then the code generating deletions (GC, compaction) would also be
impacted.
- DeletionQueueClient gets a new `flush_advisory` function, which is
like flush_execute, but doesn't wait for completion: this is appropriate
for use in contexts where we would like to encourage the deletion queue
to flush, but don't need to block on it.
- This function is also expected to be useful in next steps for seamless
migration, where the option to flush to S3 while transitioning into
AttachedStale will also include flushing deletion queue, but we wouldn't
want to block on that flush.
- The tenant_detach code in mgr.rs invokes flush_advisory after stopping
the `Tenant` object.

## Problem
Seen in CI for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5453 -- the
time gap between validation completing and the header getting written is
long enough to fail the test, where it was doing a cheeky 1 second
sleep.
## Summary of changes
- Replace 1 second sleep with a wait_until to see the header file get
written
- Use enums as test params to make the results more readable (instead of
True-False parameters)
- Fix the temp suffix used for deletion queue headers: this worked fine,
but resulted in `..tmp` extension.
Fixes#4689 by replacing all of `std::Path` , `std::PathBuf` with
`camino::Utf8Path`, `camino::Utf8PathBuf` in
- pageserver
- safekeeper
- control_plane
- libs/remote_storage

## Problem
Pageservers must not delete objects or advertise updates to
remote_consistent_lsn without checking that they hold the latest
generation for the tenant in question (see [the RFC](
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/main/docs/rfcs/025-generation-numbers.md))
In this PR:
- A new "deletion queue" subsystem is introduced, through which
deletions flow
- `RemoteTimelineClient` is modified to send deletions through the
deletion queue:
- For GC & compaction, deletions flow through the full generation
verifying process
- For timeline deletions, deletions take a fast path that bypasses
generation verification
- The `last_uploaded_consistent_lsn` value in `UploadQueue` is replaced
with a mechanism that maintains a "projected" lsn (equivalent to the
previous property), and a "visible" LSN (which is the one that we may
share with safekeepers).
- Until `control_plane_api` is set, all deletions skip generation
validation
- Tests are introduced for the new functionality in
`test_pageserver_generations.py`
Once this lands, if a pageserver is configured with the
`control_plane_api` configuration added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5163, it becomes safe to
attach a tenant to multiple pageservers concurrently.
