- Add another locking hash table to track which cached pages are currently being
modified, by smgrwrite() or smgrread() or by prefetch.
- Use single-value Leaf pages in the art tree. That seems simpler after all,
and it eliminates some corner cases where a Value needed to be cloned, which
made it tricky to use atomics or other interior mutability on the Values
## Problem
Init fork is used in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL to determine unlogged relation
or unlogged build.
But it is created only after the relation is initialized and so can be
swapped out, producing `Page is evicted with zero LSN` error.
## Summary of changes
Create init fork together with main fork for unlogged relations in
DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL mode.

Pass more neon ids to compute_ctl.
Expose them to postgres as neon extension GUCs:
neon.project_id, neon.branch_id, neon.endpoint_id.
This is the compute side PR, not yet supported by cplane.
## Problem
Walproposer should get elected and commit WAL on safekeepers specified
by the membership configuration.
## Summary of changes
- Add to wp `members_safekeepers` and `new_members_safekeepers` arrays
mapping configuration members to connection slots. Establish this
mapping (by node id) when safekeeper sends greeting, giving its id and
when mconf becomes known / changes.
- Add to TermsCollected, VotesCollected,
GetAcknowledgedByQuorumWALPosition membership aware logic. Currently it
partially duplicates existing one, but we'll drop the latter eventually.
- In python, rename Configuration to MembershipConfiguration for
clarity.
- Add test_quorum_sanity testing new logic.

pagestore_smgr.c had grown pretty large. Split into two parts, such
that the smgr routines that PostgreSQL code calls stays in
pagestore_smgr.c, and all the prefetching logic and other lower-level
routines related to communicating with the pageserver are moved to a
new source file, "communicator.c".
There are plans to replace communicator parts with a new
implementation. See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10799.
This commit doesn't implement any of the new things yet, but it is
good preparation for it. I'm imagining that the new implementation
will approximately replace the current "communicator.c" code, exposing
roughly the same functions to pagestore_smgr.c.
This commit doesn't change any functionality or behavior, or make any
other changes to the existing code: It just moves existing code
around.
## Problem
Support of unlogged build in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL.
Neon SMGR treats present of local file as indicator of unlogged
relations.
But it doesn't work in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL mode.
## Summary of changes
Use INIT_FORKNUM as indicator of unlogged file and create this file
while unlogged index build.

Also, move the call to the lfc_init() function. It was weird to have it
in libpagestore.c, when libpagestore.c otherwise had nothing to do with
the LFC. Move it directly into _PG_init()
## Problem
If the local file cache is shrunk, so that we punch some holes in the
underlying file, the local_cache view displays the holes incorrectly.
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10770
## Summary of changes
Skip hole tags in the local_cache view.

The 'neon_read' function needs to have a different prototype on PG < 16,
because it's part of the smgr interface. But neon_read_at_lsn doesn't
have that restriction.
Remove useless and often wrong IDENTIFICATION comments. PostgreSQL
sources have them, mostly for historical reasons, but there's no need
for us to copy that style.
Remove unnecessary #includes in header files, putting the #includes
directly in the .c files that need them. The principle is that a header
file should #include other header files if they need definitions from
them, such that each header file can be compiled on its own, but not
other #includes. (There are tools to enforce that, but this was just a
manual clean up of violations that I happened to spot.)
## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1741594233757489
Consider the following scenario:
1. Backend A wants to prefetch some block B
2. Backend A checks that block B is not present in shared buffer
3. Backend A registers new prefetch request and calls
prefetch_do_request
4. prefetch_do_request calls neon_get_request_lsns
5. neon_get_request_lsns obtains LwLSN for block B
6. Backend B downloads B, updates and wallogs it (let say to Lsn1)
7. Block B is once again thrown from shared buffers, its LwLSN is set to
Lsn1
8. Backend A obtains current flush LSN, let's say that it is Lsn1
9. Backend A stores Lsn1 as effective_lsn in prefetch slot.
10. Backend A reads page B with LwLSN=Lsn1
11. Backend A finds in prefetch ring response for prefetch request for
block B with effective_lsn=Lsn1, so that it satisfies
neon_prefetch_response_usable condition
12. Backend A uses deteriorated version of the page!
## Summary of changes
Use `not_modified_since` as `effective_lsn`.
It should not cause some degrade of performance because we store LwLSN
when it was not found in LwLSN hash, so if page is not changed till
prefetch response is arrived, then LwLSN should not be changed.

cause noticeable performance regression (40% in update-with-prefetch in
test_bulk_update):
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04BLQ4LW7K/p1742633167580879
## Summary of changes
Remove loop from pageserver_try_receive to make it fetch not more than
one response. There is still loop in `pump_prefetch_state` which can
fetch as many responses as available.

Previously we had different meanings for the bitmask of vector IOps.
That has now been unified to "bit set = final result, no more
scribbling".
Furthermore, the LFC read path scribbled on pages that were already
read; that's probably not a good thing so that's been fixed too. In
passing, the read path of LFC has been updated to read only the
requested pages into the provided buffers, thus reducing the IO size of
vectorized IOs.

## Problem
Macro IS_LOCAL_REL used for DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL mode use greater-than
rather than greater-or-equal comparison while first table really is
assigned FirstNormalObjectId.
## Summary of changes
Replace strict greater with greater-or-equal comparison.

## Problem
Now that stuck connections are quickly terminated it's not easy to
quickly find the right port from the pid to correlate the connection
with the one seen on pageserver side.
## Summary of changes
Call getsockname() and include the local port number in the
no-response-from-pageserver log messages.
## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1741176713523469
The problem is that this function is using `PQgetCopyData(shard->conn,
&resp_buff.data, 1 /* async = true */)`
to try to fetch next message. But this function returns 0 if the whole
message is not present in the buffer.
And input buffer may contain only part of message so result is not
fetched.
## Summary of changes
Use `PQisBusy` + `WaitEventSetWait` to check if data is available and
`PQgetCopyData(shard->conn, &resp_buff.data, 0)` to read whole message
in this case.

## Problem
We currently have this code duplicated across different PG versions.
Moving this to an extension would reduce duplication and simplify
maintenance.
## Summary of changes
Moving the LastWrittenLSN code from PG versions to the Neon extension
and linking it with hooks.
