The codepath for tenant_create command first launched the WAL redo
thread, and then called branches::create_repo() which checked if the
tenant's directory already exists. That's problematic, because
launching the WAL redo thread will run initdb if the directory doesn't
already exist. Race condition: If the tenant already exists, it will
have a WAL redo thread already running, and the old and new WAL redo
thread might try to run initdb at the same time, causing all kinds of
weird failures.
The test_pageserver_api test was failing 100% repeatably on my laptop
because of this. I'm not sure why this doesn't occur on the CI:

- Add new subdir postgres_ffi/samples/ for config file samples.
- Don't copy wal to the new branch on zenith init or zenith branch.
- Import_timeline_wal on zenith init.
It was pretty cool, but no one used it, and it had gotten badly out of
date. The main interesting thing with it was to see some basic metrics
on the fly, while the page server is running, but the metrics collection
had been broken for a long time, too. Best to just remove it.
this patch adds support for tenants. This touches mostly pageserver.
Directory layout on disk is changed to contain new layer of indirection.
Now path to particular repository has the following structure: <pageserver workdir>/tenants/<tenant
id>. Tenant id has the same format as timeline id. Tenant id is included in
pageserver commands when needed. Also new commands are available in
pageserver: tenant_list, tenant_create. This is also reflected CLI.
During init default tenant is created and it's id is saved in CLI config,
so following commands can use it without extra options. Tenant id is also included in
compute postgres configuration, so it can be passed via ServerInfo to
safekeeper and in connection string to pageserver.
For more info see docs/multitenancy.md.
It used to be the case that walkeeper's background thread
failed to recognize the end of stream (EOF) signaled by the
`Ok(None)` result of `FeMessage::read`.
* Introducing common enum ObjectVal for all values
* Rewrite push mechanism to use raw object copy
* Fix history unit test
* Add skip_nonrel_objects functions for history unit tests
