* lower level on auth success from info to debug (fixes#5820)
* don't log stacktraces on auth errors (as requested on slack). we do this by introducing an `AuthError` type instead of using `anyhow` and `bail`.
* return errors that have been censored for improved security.
503 Resource Unavailable appears as error in logs, but is not really an
error which should ever fail a test on, or even log an error in prod,
[evidence].
Changes:
- log 503 as `info!` level
- use `Cow<'static, str>` instead of `String`
- add an additional `wait_until_tenant_active` in
`test_actually_duplicate_l1`
We ought to have in tests "wait for tenants to complete loading" but
this is easier to implement for now.

## Problem
The 500 status code should only be used for bugs or unrecoverable
failures: situations we did not expect. Currently, the pageserver is
misusing this response code for some situations that are totally normal,
like requests targeting tenants that are in the process of activating.
The 503 response is a convenient catch-all for "I can't right now, but I
will be able to".
## Summary of changes
- Change some transient availability error conditions to return 503
instead of 500
- Update the HTTP client configuration in integration tests to retry on
503
After these changes, things like creating a tenant and then trying to
create a timeline within it will no longer require carefully checking
its status first, or retrying on 500s. Instead, a client which is
properly configured to retry on 503 can quietly handle such situations.
## Problem
Pageservers must not delete objects or advertise updates to
remote_consistent_lsn without checking that they hold the latest
generation for the tenant in question (see [the RFC](
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/main/docs/rfcs/025-generation-numbers.md))
In this PR:
- A new "deletion queue" subsystem is introduced, through which
deletions flow
- `RemoteTimelineClient` is modified to send deletions through the
deletion queue:
- For GC & compaction, deletions flow through the full generation
verifying process
- For timeline deletions, deletions take a fast path that bypasses
generation verification
- The `last_uploaded_consistent_lsn` value in `UploadQueue` is replaced
with a mechanism that maintains a "projected" lsn (equivalent to the
previous property), and a "visible" LSN (which is the one that we may
share with safekeepers).
- Until `control_plane_api` is set, all deletions skip generation
validation
- Tests are introduced for the new functionality in
`test_pageserver_generations.py`
Once this lands, if a pageserver is configured with the
`control_plane_api` configuration added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5163, it becomes safe to
attach a tenant to multiple pageservers concurrently.

## Problem
During timeline creation we create special mark file which presense
indicates that initialization didnt complete successfully. In case of a
crash restart we can remove such half-initialized timeline and following
retry from control plane side should perform another attempt.
So in case of a possible crash restart during initial loading we have
following picture:
```
timelines
| - <timeline_id>___uninit
| - <timeline_id>
| - | <timeline files>
```
We call `std::fs::read_dir` to walk files in `timelines` directory one
by one. If we see uninit file
we proceed with deletion of both, timeline directory and uninit file. If
we see timeline we check if uninit file exists and do the same cleanup.
But in fact its possible to get both branches to be true at the same
time. Result of readdir doesnt reflect following directory state
modifications. So you can still get "valid" entry on the next iteration
of the loop despite the fact that it was deleted in one of the previous
iterations of the loop.
To see that you can apply the following patch (it disables uninit mark
cleanup on successful timeline creation):
```diff
diff --git a/pageserver/src/tenant.rs b/pageserver/src/tenant.rs
index 4beb2664..b3cdad8f 100644
--- a/pageserver/src/tenant.rs

- "Failed to remove uninit mark file for timeline {tenant_id}/{timeline_id}"
- )
- })?;
v.insert(Arc::clone(&new_timeline));
new_timeline.maybe_spawn_flush_loop();
```
And perform the following steps:
```bash
neon_local init
neon_local start
neon_local tenant create
neon_local stop
neon_local start
```
The error is:
```log
INFO load{tenant_id=X}:blocking: Found an uninit mark file .neon/tenants/X/timelines/Y.___uninit, removing the timeline and its uninit mark
2023-06-09T18:43:41.664247Z ERROR load{tenant_id=X}: load failed, setting tenant state to Broken: failed to load metadata
Caused by:
0: Failed to read metadata bytes from path .neon/tenants/X/timelines/Y/metadata
1: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
So uninit mark got deleted together with timeline directory but we still
got directory entry for it and tried to load it.
The bug prevented tenant from being successfully loaded.
## Summary of changes
Ideally I think we shouldnt place uninit marks in the same directory as timeline directories but move them to separate directory and
gather them as an input to actual listing, but that would be sort of an
on-disk format change, so just check whether entries are still valid
before operating on them.
Delete data from s3 when timeline deletion is requested
## Summary of changes
UploadQueue is altered to support scheduling of delete operations in
stopped state. This looks weird, and I'm thinking whether there are
better options/refactorings for upload client to make it look better.
Probably can be part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4378
Deletion is implemented directly in existing endpoint because changes are not
that significant. If we want more safety we can separate those or create
feature flag for new behavior.

Require the error type to be ApiError. It implicitly required that
anyway, because the function used error::handler, which downcasted the
error to an ApiError. If the error was in fact anything else than
ApiError, it would just panic. Better to check it at compilation time.
Also make the last-resort error handler more forgiving, so that it
returns an 500 Internal Server error response, instead of panicking,
if a request handler returns some other error than an ApiError.
Part of the general work on improving pageserver logs.
Brief summary of changes:
* Remove `ApiError::from_err`
* Remove `impl From<anyhow::Error> for ApiError`
* Convert `ApiError::{BadRequest, NotFound}` to use `anyhow::Error`
* Note: `NotFound` has more verbose formatting because it's more
likely to have useful information for the receiving "user"
* Explicitly convert from `tokio::task::JoinError`s into
`InternalServerError`s where appropriate
Also note: many of the places where errors were implicitly converted to
500s have now been updated to return a more appropriate error. Some
places where it's not yet possible to distinguish the error types have
been left as 500s.
