wal_storage.rs was split up from timeline.rs, safekeeper.rs and send_wal.rs,
and now contains all WAL related code from the safekeeper. Now there are
PhysicalStorage for persisting WAL to disk and WalReader for reading it.
This allows optimizing PhysicalStorage without affecting too much of other
code.
Also there is a separate structure for persisting control file now in
control_file.rs.
Currently ztimelineids are unique, but all APIs accept the pair, so let's keep
it everywhere for uniformity.
Carry around ZTTId containing both ZTenantId and ZTimelineId for simplicity.
(existing clusters on staging ought to be preprocessed for that)
Persist full history of term switches on safekeepers instead of storing only the
single term of the highest entry (called epoch). This allows easily and
correctly find the divergence point of two logs and truncate the obsolete part
before overwriting it with entries of the newer proposer(s).
Full history of the proposer is transferred in separate message before proposer
starts streaming; it is immediately persisted by safekeeper, though he might not
yet have entries for some older terms there. That's because we can't atomically
append to WAL and update the control file anyway, so locally available WAL must
be taken into account when looking at the history.
We should sometimes purge term history entries beyond truncate_lsn; this is not
done here.
Per https://github.com/zenithdb/rfcs/pull/12Closes#296.
Bumps vendor/postgres.
Which is mainly generational state (terms) and useful LSNs.
Also add /status basic healthcheck request which is now used in tests to
determine the safekeeper is up; this fixes#726.
