Use CLI args instead of environment variables to parameterize the
working directory and postgres distirbution.
Before this change, there was a mixture of environment variables and CLI
arguments that needed to be set. Moving to a single input simplifies
cloud configuration management.
The bool::then function was added in Rust 1.50. I'm still using 1.48 on
my laptop. We haven't decided what Rust version we will require
(https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith/issues/138), and I'll probably need
to upgrade sooner or later, but this will do for now.
It's not realistic to enable full-blown type checks
within test_runner's codebase, since the amount of
warnings revealed by mypy is overwhelming.
Tests are supposed to be easy to use, so we can't
cripple everybody's workflow for the sake of imaginary benefit.
Ultimately, the purpose of this attempt is three-fold:
* Facilitate code navigation when paired with python-language-server.
* Make method signatures apparent to a fellow programmer.
* Occasionally catch some obvious type errors.
Clear a clippy warning about manual flatten.
This isn't good error handling, but panicking is probably better than
spinning forever if stdin returns EOF.
Previously, transaction commit could happen regardless of whether
pageserver has caught up or not. This patch aims to fix that.
There are two notable changes:
1. ComputeControlPlane::new_node() now sets the
`synchronous_standby_names = 'pageserver'` parameter to delay
transaction commit until pageserver acting as a standby has
fetched and ack'd a relevant portion of WAL.
2. pageserver now has to:
- Specify the `application_name = pageserver` which matches the
one in `synchronous_standby_names`.
- Properly reply with the ack'd LSNs.
This means that some tests don't need sleeps anymore.
TODO: We should probably make this behavior configurable.
Fixes#187.
Now postgres_backend communicates with the client, passing queries to the
provided handler; we have two currently, for wal_acceptor and pageserver.
Now BytesMut is again used for writing data to avoid manual message length
calculation.

Note the unsafety of the unsafe block, with a link to the ongoing
discussion. This doesn't try to solve the problem, but let's at least
document the status quo.
