## Problem
The current deletion operation is synchronous and blocking, which is
unsuitable for potentially long-running tasks like. In such cases, the
standard HTTP request-response pattern is not a good fit.
## Summary of Changes
- Added new `storcon_cli` commands: `NodeStartDelete` and
`NodeCancelDelete` to initiate and cancel deletion asynchronously.
- Added corresponding `storcon` HTTP handlers to support the new
start/cancel deletion flow.
- Introduced a new type of background operation: `Delete`, to track and
manage the deletion process outside the request lifecycle.

## Problem
Pageservers notify control plane directly when a shard import has
completed.
Control plane has to download the status of each shard from S3 and
figure out if everything is truly done,
before proceeding with branch activation.
Issues with this approach are:
* We can't control shard split behaviour on the storage controller side.
It's unsafe to split
during import.
* Control plane needs to know about shards and implement logic to check
all timelines are indeed ready.
## Summary of changes
In short, storage controller coordinates imports, and, only when
everything is done, notifies control plane.
Big rocks:
1. Store timeline imports in the storage controller database. Each
import stores the status of its shards in the database.
We hook into the timeline creation call as our entry point for this.
2. Pageservers get a new upcall endpoint to notify the storage
controller of shard import updates.
3. Storage controller handles these updates by updating persisted state.
If an update finalizes the import,
then poll pageservers until timeline activation, and, then, notify the
control plane that the import is complete.
Cplane side change with new endpoint is in
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/26166
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11566
In #9011, we want to schedule timelines to safekeepers. In order to do
such scheduling, we need information about how utilized a safekeeper is
and if it's available or not.
Therefore, send constant heartbeats to the safekeepers and try to figure
out if they are online or not.
Includes some code from #10440.
Follow-up of #9234 to give hyper 1.0 the version-free name, and the
legacy version of hyper the one with the version number inside. As we
move away from hyper 0.14, we can remove the `hyper0` name piece by
piece.
Part of #9255
## Problem
Previously, we would run db migrations before doing the step-down
sequence. This meant that the current leader would have to deal with
the schema changes and that's generally not safe.
## Summary of changes
Push the step-down procedure earlier in start-up and
do db migrations right after it (but before we load-up the in-memory
state from the db).

## Problem
Storage controller restarts cause temporary unavailability from the
control plane POV. See RFC for more details.
## Summary of changes
* A couple of small refactors of the storage controller start-up
sequence to make extending it easier.
* A leader table is added to track the storage controller instance
that's currently the leader (if any)
* A peer client is added such that storage controllers can send
`step_down` requests to each other (implemented in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8512).
* Implement the leader cut-over as described in the RFC
* Add `start-as-candidate` flag to the storage controller to gate the
rolling restart behaviour. When the flag is `false` (the default), the
only change from the current start-up sequence is persisting the leader
entry to the database.
## Problem
Migrations of tenant shards with cold secondaries are holding up drains
in during production deployments.
## Summary of changes
If a secondary locations is lagging by more than 256MiB (configurable,
but that's the default), then skip cutting it over to the secondary as part of the node drain.
## Problem
Pageserver restarts cause read availablity downtime for tenants. See
`Motivation` section in the
[RFC](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7704).
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a new `NodeSchedulingPolicy`: `PauseForRestart`
* Implement the first take of drain and fill algorithms
* Add a node status endpoint which can be polled to figure out when an
operation is done
The implementation follows the RFC, so it might be useful to peek at it
as you're reviewing.
Since the PR is rather chunky, I've made sure all commits build (with
warnings), so you can
review by commit if you prefer that.

The binary etc were renamed some time ago, but the path in the source
tree remained "attachment_service" to avoid disruption to ongoing PRs.
There aren't any big PRs out right now, so it's a good time to cut over.
- Rename `attachment_service` to `storage_controller`
- Move it to the top level for symmetry with `storage_broker` & to avoid
mixing the non-prod neon_local stuff (`control_plane/`) with the storage
controller which is a production component.
