4be2223a4c Discrete event simulation for safekeepers (#5804)
This PR contains the first version of a
[FoundationDB-like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc)
simulation testing for safekeeper and walproposer.

### desim

This is a core "framework" for running determenistic simulation. It
operates on threads, allowing to test syncronous code (like walproposer).

`libs/desim/src/executor.rs` contains implementation of a determenistic
thread execution. This is achieved by blocking all threads, and each
time allowing only a single thread to make an execution step. All
executor's threads are blocked using `yield_me(after_ms)` function. This
function is called when a thread wants to sleep or wait for an external
notification (like blocking on a channel until it has a ready message).

`libs/desim/src/chan.rs` contains implementation of a channel (basic
sync primitive). It has unlimited capacity and any thread can push or
read messages to/from it.

`libs/desim/src/network.rs` has a very naive implementation of a network
(only reliable TCP-like connections are supported for now), that can
have arbitrary delays for each package and failure injections for
breaking connections with some probability.

`libs/desim/src/world.rs` ties everything together, to have a concept of
virtual nodes that can have network connections between them.

### walproposer_sim

Has everything to run walproposer and safekeepers in a simulation.

`safekeeper.rs` reimplements all necesary stuff from `receive_wal.rs`,
`send_wal.rs` and `timelines_global_map.rs`.

`walproposer_api.rs` implements all walproposer callback to use
simulation library.

`simulation.rs` defines a schedule – a set of events like `restart <sk>`
or `write_wal` that should happen at time `<ts>`. It also has code to
spawn walproposer/safekeeper threads and provide config to them.

### tests

`simple_test.rs` has tests that just start walproposer and 3 safekeepers
together in a simulation, and tests that they are not crashing right
away.

`misc_test.rs` has tests checking more advanced simulation cases, like
crashing or restarting threads, testing memory deallocation, etc.

`random_test.rs` is the main test, it checks thousands of random seeds
(schedules) for correctness. It roughly corresponds to running a real
python integration test in an environment with very unstable network and
cpu, but in a determenistic way (each seed results in the same execution
log) and much much faster.

Closes #547

ae3eaf9995 Add [WP] prefix to all walproposer logging.
- rename walpop_log to wp_log
- create also wpg_log which is used in postgres-specific code
- in passing format messages to start with lower case

bfc98f36e3 Refactor handling responses in walproposer.
Remove confirm_wal_streamed; we already apply both write and flush positions of
the slot to commit_lsn which is fine because 1) we need to wake up waiters 2)
committed WAL can be fetched from safekeepers by neon_walreader now.

9c493869c7 Perform synchronous WAL download in wp only for logical replication.
wp -> sk communication now uses neon_walreader which will fetch missing WAL on
demand from safekeepers, so doesn't need this anymore. Also, cap WAL download by
max_slot_wal_keep_size to be able to start compute if lag is too high.

There was a compilation error due to `std::ffi::c_char` being different type on different platforms. Clippy also complained due to a similar reason.

66f8f5f1c8 Call walproposer from Rust (#5403)
Create Rust bindings for C functions from walproposer. This allows to
write better tests with real walproposer code without spawning multiple
processes and starting up the whole environment.

`make walproposer-lib` stage was added to build static libraries
`libwalproposer.a`, `libpgport.a`, `libpgcommon.a`. These libraries can
be statically linked to any executable to call walproposer functions.

`libs/walproposer/src/walproposer.rs` contains
`test_simple_sync_safekeepers` to test that walproposer can be called
from Rust to emulate sync_safekeepers logic. It can also be used as a
usage example.
