## Problem
If for some reasons we already garbage-collected the data under an LSN
but the caller uses a past LSN for the find_time_cutoff function, now we
will report a missing key error and GC will never proceed.
Note that missing key error can also happen if the key is really missing
(i.e., during the past offload incidents)
## Summary of changes
Make sure GC proceeds by bumping the LSN. When time_cutoff=None, we will
not increase the time_cutoff (it will be set to latest_gc_cutoff). If we
really need to bump the GC LSN for maintenance purpose, we need a
separate API to do that.

## Problem
Changes in #9786 were functionally complete but missed some edges that
made testing less robust than it should have been:
- `is_key_disposable` didn't consider SLRU dir keys disposable
- Timeline `init_empty` was always creating SLRU dir keys on all shards
The result was that when we had a bug
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10080), it wasn't apparent in
tests, because one would only encounter the issue if running on a
long-lived timeline with enough compaction to drop the initially created
empty SLRU dir keys, _and_ some CLog truncation going on.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21516
## Summary of changes
- Update is_key_global and init_empty to handle SLRU dir keys properly
-- the only functional impact is that we avoid writing some spurious
keys in shards >0, but this makes testing much more robust.
- Make `test_clog_truncate` explicitly use a sharded tenant
The net result is that if one reverts #10080, then tests fail (i.e. this
PR is a reproducer for the issue)
This PR
- fixes smgr metrics https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9925
- adds an additional startup log line logging the current batching
config
- adds a histogram of batch sizes global and per-tenant
- adds a metric exposing the current batching config
The issue described #9925 is that before this PR, request latency was
only observed *after* batching.
This means that smgr latency metrics (most importantly getpage latency)
don't account for
- `wait_lsn` time
- time spent waiting for batch to fill up / the executor stage to pick
up the batch.
The fix is to use a per-request batching timer, like we did before the
initial batching PR.
We funnel those timers through the entire request lifecycle.
I noticed that even before the initial batching changes, we weren't
accounting for the time spent writing & flushing the response to the
wire.
This PR drive-by fixes that deficiency by dropping the timers at the
very end of processing the batch, i.e., after the `pgb.flush()` call.
I was **unable to maintain the behavior that we deduct
time-spent-in-throttle from various latency metrics.
The reason is that we're using a *single* counter in `RequestContext` to
track micros spent in throttle.
But there are *N* metrics timers in the batch, one per request.
As a consequence, the practice of consuming the counter in the drop
handler of each timer no longer works because all but the first timer
will encounter error `close() called on closed state`.
A failed attempt to maintain the current behavior can be found in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9951.
So, this PR remvoes the deduction behavior from all metrics.
I started a discussion on Slack about it the implications this has for
our internal SLO calculation:

## Problem
When ingesting implicit `ClearVmBits` operations, we silently drop the
writes if the relation or page is unknown. There are implicit
assumptions around VM pages wrt. explicit/implicit updates, sharding,
and relation sizes, which can possibly drop writes incorrectly. Adding a
few metrics will allow us to investigate further and tighten up the
logic.
Touches #9855.
## Summary of changes
Add a `pageserver_wal_ingest_clear_vm_bits_unknown` metric to record
dropped `ClearVmBits` writes.
Also add comments clarifying the behavior of relation sizes on non-zero
shards.
## Problem
We don't have any observability for the relation size cache. We have
seen cache misses cause significant performance impact with high
relation counts.
Touches #9855.
## Summary of changes
Adds the following metrics:
* `pageserver_relsize_cache_entries`
* `pageserver_relsize_cache_hits`
* `pageserver_relsize_cache_misses`
* `pageserver_relsize_cache_misses_old`
## Problem
For any given tenant shard, pageservers receive all of the tenant's WAL
from the safekeeper.
This soft-blocks us from using larger shard counts due to bandwidth
concerns and CPU overhead of filtering
out the records.
## Summary of changes
This PR lifts the decoding and interpretation of WAL from the pageserver
into the safekeeper.
A customised PG replication protocol is used where instead of sending
raw WAL, the safekeeper sends
filtered, interpreted records. The receiver drives the protocol
selection, so, on the pageserver side, usage
of the new protocol is gated by a new pageserver config:
`wal_receiver_protocol`.
More granularly the changes are:
1. Optionally inject the protocol and shard identity into the arguments
used for starting replication
2. On the safekeeper side, implement a new wal sending primitive which
decodes and interprets records
before sending them over
3. On the pageserver side, implement the ingestion of this new
replication message type. It's very similar
to what we already have for raw wal (minus decoding and interpreting).
## Notes
* This PR currently uses my [branch of
rust-postgres](https://github.com/neondatabase/rust-postgres/tree/vlad/interpreted-wal-record-replication-support)
which includes the deserialization logic for the new replication message
type. PR for that is open
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/rust-postgres/pull/32).
* This PR contains changes for both pageservers and safekeepers. It's
safe to merge because the new protocol is disabled by default on the
pageserver side. We can gradually start enabling it in subsequent
releases.
* CI tests are running on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9747

# Context
This PR contains PoC-level changes for a product feature that allows
onboarding large databases into Neon without going through the regular
data path.
# Changes
This internal RFC provides all the context
* https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/19799
In the language of the RFC, this PR covers
* the Importer code (`fast_import`)
* all the Pageserver changes (mgmt API changes, flow implementation,
etc)
* a basic test for the Pageserver changes
# Reviewing
As acknowledged in the RFC, the code added in this PR is not ready for
general availability.
Also, the **architecture is not to be discussed in this PR**, but in the
RFC and associated Slack channel instead.
Reviewers of this PR should take that into consideration.
The quality bar to apply during review depends on what area of the code
is being reviewed:
* Importer code (`fast_import`): practically anything goes
* Core flow (`flow.rs`):
* Malicious input data must be expected and the existing threat models
apply.
* The code must not be safe to execute on *dedicated* Pageserver
instances:
* This means in particular that tenants *on other* Pageserver instances
must not be affected negatively wrt data confidentiality, integrity or
availability.
* Other code: the usual quality bar
* Pay special attention to correct use of gate guards, timeline
cancellation in all places during shutdown & migration, etc.
* Consider the broader system impact; if you find potentially
problematic interactions with Storage features that were not covered in
the RFC, bring that up during the review.
I recommend submitting three separate reviews, for the three high-level
areas with different quality bars.

## Problem
We don't take advantage of queue depth generated by the compute
on the pageserver. We can process getpage requests more efficiently
by batching them.
## Summary of changes
Batch up incoming getpage requests that arrive within a configurable
time window (`server_side_batch_timeout`).
Then process the entire batch via one `get_vectored` timeline operation.
By default, no merging takes place.

The metrics from LR publisher testing project: ~300KB aux key deltas per
256MB files. Therefore, I think we can do compaction more aggressively
as these deltas are small and compaction can reduce layer download
latency. We also have a read path perf fix
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9631 but I'd still combine the
read path fix with the reduce of the compaction threshold.
## Summary of changes
* reduce metadata compaction threshold
* use num of L1 delta layers as an indicator for metadata compaction

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9524 split the decoding and
interpretation step from ingestion.
The output of the first phase is a `wal_decoder::models::InterpretedWalRecord`.
Before this patch set that struct contained a list of `Value` instances.
We wish to lift the decoding and interpretation step to the safekeeper,
but it would be nice if the safekeeper gave us a batch containing the raw data instead of actual values.
## Summary of changes
Main goal here is to make `InterpretedWalRecord` hold a raw buffer which
contains pre-serialized Values.
For this we do:
1. Add a `SerializedValueBatch` type. This is `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with some
extra functionality for extension, observing values for shard 0 and tests.
2. Replace `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with `SerializedValueBatch`
3. Make `DatadirModification` maintain a `SerializedValueBatch`.
### `DatadirModification` changes
`DatadirModification` now maintains a `SerializedValueBatch` and extends
it as new WAL records come in (to avoid flushing to disk on every
record).
In turn, this cascaded into a number of modifications to
`DatadirModification`:
1. Replace `pending_data_pages` and `pending_zero_data_pages` with `pending_data_batch`.
2. Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and its cousin `on_wal_record_end`
3. Rename `pending_bytes` to `pending_metadata_bytes` since this is what it tracks now.
4. Adapting of various utility methods like `len`, `approx_pending_bytes` and `has_dirty_data_pages`.
Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and the optimisation associated
with it ((1) and (2)) deserves more detail.
Previously all zero data pages went through `pending_zero_data_pages`.
We wrote zero data pages when filling gaps caused by relation extension
(case A) and when handling special wal records (case B). If it happened
that the same WAL record contained a non zero write for an entry in
`pending_zero_data_pages` we skipped the zero write.
Case A: We handle this differently now. When ingesting the
`SerialiezdValueBatch` associated with one PG WAL record, we identify the gaps and fill the
them in one go. Essentially, we move from a per key process (gaps were filled after each
new key), and replace it with a per record process. Hence, the optimisation is not
required anymore.
Case B: When the handling of a special record needs to zero out a key,
it just adds that to the current batch. I inspected the code, and I
don't think the optimisation kicked in here.
## Problem
We wish to have high level WAL decoding logic in `wal_decoder::decoder`
module.
## Summary of Changes
For this we need the `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` types accessible there, so:
1. Move `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` to `pageserver::value` and
`pageserver::record` respectively.
2. Get rid of `pageserver::repository` (follow up from (1))
3. Move PG specific WAL record types to `postgres_ffi::walrecord`. In
theory they could live in `wal_decoder`, but it would create a circular
dependency between `wal_decoder` and `postgres_ffi`. Long term it makes
sense for those types to be PG version specific, so that will work out nicely.
4. Move higher level WAL record types (to be ingested by pageserver)
into `wal_decoder::models`

## Problem
We have some known N^2 behaviors when it comes to large relation counts,
due to the monolithic encoding and full rewrites of of RelDirectory each
time a relation is added. Ordinarily our backpressure mechanisms give
"slow but steady" performance when creating/dropping/truncating
relations. However, in the case of a transaction abort, it is possible
for a single WAL record to drop an unbounded number of relations. The
results in an unavailable compute, as when it sends one of these
records, it can stall the pageserver's ingest for many minutes, even
though the compute only sent a small amount of WAL.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9505
## Summary of changes
- Rewrite relation-dropping code to do one read/modify/write cycle of
RelDirectory, instead of doing it separately for each relation in a
loop.
- Add a test for the bug scenario encountered:
`test_tx_abort_with_many_relations`
The test has ~40s runtime on my workstation. About 1 second of that is
the part where we wait for ingest to catch up after a rollback, the rest
is the slowness of creating and truncating a large number of relations.

Legacy compaction (as well as gc-compaction) rely on the GC process to
remove unused layer files, but this relies on many factors (i.e., key
partition) to ensure data in a dropped table can be eventually removed.
In gc-compaction, we consider the keyspace information when doing the
compaction process. If a key is not in the keyspace, we will skip that
key and not include it in the final output.
However, this is not easy to implement because gc-compaction considers
branch points (i.e., retain_lsns) and the retained keyspaces could
change across different LSNs. Therefore, for now, we only remove aux v1
keys in the compaction process.
## Summary of changes
* Add `FilterIterator` to filter out keys.
* Integrate `FilterIterator` with gc-compaction.
* Add `collect_gc_compaction_keyspace` for a spec of keyspaces that can
be retained during the gc-compaction process.

## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8621, validation of keys
during ingest was removed because the places where we actually store
keys are now past the point where we have already converted them to
CompactKey (i128) representation.
## Summary of changes
Reinstate validation at an earlier stage in ingest. This doesn't cover
literally every place we write a key, but it covers most cases where
we're trusting postgres to give us a valid key (i.e. one that doesn't
try and use a custom spacenode).

adding newlines to the first sentence if it is short enough, and making

## Problem
Currently, DatadirModification keeps a key-indexed map of all pending
writes, even though we (almost) never need to read back dirty pages for
anything other than metadata pages (e.g. relation sizes).
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6345
## Summary of changes
- commit() modifications before ingesting database creation wal records,
so that they are guaranteed to be able to get() everything they need
directly from the underlying Timeline.
- Split dirty pages in DatadirModification into pending_metadata_pages
and pending_data_pages. The data ones don't need to be in a
key-addressable format, so they just go in a Vec instead.
- Special case handling of zero-page writes in DatadirModification,
putting them in a map which is flushed on the end of a WAL record. This
handles the case where during ingest, we might first write a zero page,
and then ingest a postgres write to that page. We used to do this via
the key-indexed map of writes, but in this PR we change the data page
write path to not bother indexing these by key.
My least favorite thing about this PR is that I needed to change the
DatadirModification interface to add the on_record_end call. This is not
very invasive because there's really only one place we use it, but it
changes the object's behaviour from being clearly an aggregation of many
records to having some per-record state. I could avoid this by
implicitly doing the work when someone calls set_lsn or commit -- I'm
open to opinions on whether that's cleaner or dirtier.
## Performance
There may be some efficiency improvement here, but the primary
motivation is to enable an earlier stage of ingest to operate without
access to a Timeline. The `pending_data_pages` part is the "fast path"
bulk write data that can in principle be generated without a Timeline,
in parallel with other ingest batches, and ultimately on the safekeeper.
`test_bulk_insert` on AX102 shows approximately the same results as in
the previous PR #8591:
```

It's better to reject invalid keys on the write path than storing it and
panic-ing the pageserver.
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8636
## Summary of changes
If a key cannot be represented using i128, we don't allow writing that
key into the pageserver.
There are two versions of the check valid function: the normal one that
simply rejects i128 keys, and the stronger one that rejects all keys
that we don't support.
The current behavior when a key gets rejected is that safekeeper will
keep retrying streaming that key to the pageserver. And once such key
gets written, no new computes can be started. Therefore, there could be
a large amount of pageserver warnings if a key cannot be ingested. To
validate this behavior by yourself, the reviewer can (1) use the
stronger version of the valid check (2) run the following SQL.
```
set neon.regress_test_mode = true;
CREATE TABLESPACE regress_tblspace LOCATION '/Users/skyzh/Work/neon-test/tablespace';
CREATE SCHEMA testschema;
CREATE TABLE testschema.foo (i int) TABLESPACE regress_tblspace;
insert into testschema.foo values (1), (2), (3);
```
For now, I'd like to merge the patch with only rejecting non-i128 keys.
It's still unknown whether the stronger version covers all the cases
that basebackup doesn't support. Furthermore, the behavior of rejecting
a key will produce large amounts of warnings due to safekeeper retry.
Therefore, I'd like to reject the minimum set of keys that we don't
support (i128 ones) for now. (well, erroring out is better than panic on
`to_compact_key`)
The next step is to fix the safekeeper behavior (i.e., on such key
rejections, stop streaming WAL), so that we can properly stop writing.
An alternative solution is to simply drop these keys on the write path.

## Problem/Solution
TimelineWriter::put_batch is simply a loop over individual puts. Each
put acquires and releases locks, and checks for potentially starting a
new layer. Batching these is more efficient, but more importantly
unlocks future changes where we can pre-build serialized buffers much
earlier in the ingest process, potentially even on the safekeeper
(imagine a future model where some variant of DatadirModification lives
on the safekeeper).
Ensuring that the values in put_batch are written to one layer also
enables a simplification upstream, where we no longer need to write
values in LSN-order. This saves us a sort, but also simplifies follow-on
refactors to DatadirModification: we can store metadata keys and data
keys separately at that level without needing to zip them together in
LSN order later.
## Why?
In this PR, these changes are simplify optimizations, but they are
motivated by evolving the ingest path in the direction of disentangling
extracting DatadirModification from Timeline. It may not obvious how
right now, but the general idea is that we'll end up with three phases
of ingest:
- A) Decode walrecords and build a datadirmodification with all the
simple data contents already in a big serialized buffer ready to write
to an ephemeral layer **<-- this part can be pipelined and parallelized,
and done on a safekeeper!**
- B) Let that datadirmodification see a Timeline, so that it can also
generate all the metadata updates that require a read-modify-write of
existing pages
- C) Dump the results of B into an ephemeral layer.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8452
## Caveats
Doing a big monolithic buffer of values to write to disk is ordinarily
an anti-pattern: we prefer nice streaming I/O. However:
- In future, when we do this first decode stage on the safekeeper, it
would be inefficient to serialize a Vec of Value, and then later
deserialize it just to add blob size headers while writing into the
ephemeral layer format. The idea is that for bulk write data, we will
serialize exactly once.
- The monolithic buffer is a stepping stone to pipelining more of this:
by seriailizing earlier (rather than at the final put_value), we will be
able to parallelize the wal decoding and bulk serialization of data page
writes.
- The ephemeral layer's buffered writer already stalls writes while it
waits to flush: so while yes we'll stall for a couple milliseconds to
write a couple megabytes, we already have stalls like this, just
distributed across smaller writes.
## Benchmarks
This PR is primarily a stepping stone to safekeeper ingest filtering,
but also provides a modest efficiency improvement to the `wal_recovery`
part of `test_bulk_ingest`.

Hopefully fix it by:
1. replace the `map_err` which hid the
`GetReadyAncestorError::Cancelled` with `From<GetReadyAncestorError> for
GetVectoredError` conversion
2. simplifying the code in pgdatadir_mapping to eliminate the token
anyhow wrapping for deserialization errors
3. stop wrapping GetVectoredError as anyhow errors
4. stop wrapping PageReconstructError as anyhow errors
Additionally, produce warnings if we treat any other error (as was legal
before this PR) as missing key.

## Problem
Postgres is using `access()` function in `GetNewRelFileNumber` to check
if assigned relfilenumber is not used for any other relation. This check
will not work in Neon, because we do not have all files in local

## Summary of changes
Use smgrexists() instead which will check at page server if such
relfilenode is used.

PR #8299 has switched the storage scrubber to use
`DefaultCredentialsChain`. Now we do this for `remote_storage`, as it
allows us to use `remote_storage` from inside kubernetes. Most of the
diff is due to `GenericRemoteStorage::from_config` becoming `async fn`.
## Problem
new clippy warnings on nightly.
## Summary of changes
broken up each commit by warning type.
1. Remove some unnecessary refs.
2. In edition 2024, inference will default to `!` and not `()`.
3. Clippy complains about doc comment indentation
4. Fix `Trait + ?Sized` where `Trait: Sized`.
5. diesel_derives triggering `non_local_defintions`
## Problem
Rarely, a dbdir entry can exist with no `relmap_file_key` data. This
causes compaction to fail, because it assumes that if the database
exists, then so does the relmap file.
Basebackup already handled this using a boolean to record whether such a
key exists, but `collect_keyspace` didn't.
## Summary of changes
- Respect the flag for whether a relfilemap exists in collect_keyspace
- The reproducer for this issue will merge separately in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8232
## Problem
Sparse keyspaces were constructed with ranges out of order: this didn't break things obviously, but meant that users of KeySpace functions that assume ordering would assert out.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8277
## Summary of changes
make sure the sparse keyspace has ordered keyspace parts
Some test cases add random keys into the timeline, but it is not part of
the `collect_keyspace`, this will cause compaction remove the keys.
The pull request adds a field to supply extra keyspaces during unit
tests.

Closes#7406.
## Problem
When a `get_lsn_by_timestamp` request is cancelled, an anyhow error is
exposed to handle that case, which verbosely logs the error. However, we
don't benefit from having the full backtrace provided by anyhow in this
case.
## Summary of changes
This PR introduces a new `ApiError` type to handle errors caused by
cancelled request more robustly.
- A new enum variant `ApiError::Cancelled`
- Currently the cancelled request is mapped to status code 500.
- Need to handle this error in proxy's `http_util` as well.
- Added a failpoint test to simulate cancelled `get_lsn_by_timestamp`
request.

The keyspace utils like `is_rel_size_key` or `is_rel_fsm_block_key` and
many others are free functions and have to be either imported separately
or specified with the full path starting in `pageserver_api:🔑:`.
This is less convenient than if these functions were just inherent
impls.
Follow-up of #7890Fixes#6438
## Problem
In all cases, AncestorStopping is equivalent to Cancelled.
This became more obvious in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7912#discussion_r1620582309
when updating these error types.
## Summary of changes
- Remove AncestorStopping, always use Cancelled instead
## Problem
Looking at several noisy shutdown logs:
- In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7861 we're hitting a
log error with `InternalServerError(timeline shutting down\n'` on the
checkpoint API handler.
- In the field, we see initial_logical_size_calculation errors on
shutdown, via DownloadError
- In the field, we see errors logged from layer download code
(independent of the error propagated) during shutdown
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7861
## Summary of changes
The theme of these changes is to avoid propagating anyhow::Errors for
cases that aren't really unexpected error cases that we might want a
stacktrace for, and avoid "Other" error variants unless we really do
have unexpected error cases to propagate.
- On the flush_frozen_layers path, use the `FlushLayerError` type
throughout, rather than munging it into an anyhow::Error. Give
FlushLayerError an explicit from_anyhow helper that checks for timeline
cancellation, and uses it to give a Cancelled error instead of an Other
error when the timeline is shutting down.
- In logical size calculation, remove BackgroundCalculationError (this
type was just a Cancelled variant and an Other variant), and instead use
CalculateLogicalSizeError throughout. This can express a
PageReconstructError, and has a From impl that translates cancel-like
page reconstruct errors to Cancelled.
- Replace CalculateLogicalSizeError's Other(anyhow::Error) variant case
with a Decode(DeserializeError) variant, as this was the only kind of
error we actually used in the Other case.
- During layer download, drop out early if the timeline is shutting
down, so that we don't do an `error!()` log of the shutdown error in
this case.
Consider the following sequence of migration:
```
1. user starts compute
2. force migrate to v2
3. user continues to write data
```
At the time of (3), the compute node is not aware that the page server
does not contain replication states any more, and might continue to
ingest neon-file records into the safekeeper. This will leave the
pageserver store a partial replication state and cause some errors. For
example, the compute could issue a deletion of some aux files in v1, but
this file does not exist in v2. Therefore, we should ignore all these
errors until everyone is migrated to v2.
Also note that if we see this warning in prod, it is likely because we
did not fully suspend users' compute when flipping the v1/v2 flag.

## Problem
If an existing user already has some aux v1 files, we don't want to
switch them to the global tenant-level config.

Sparse keyspace does not generate image layers for now. This pull
request adds support for generating image layers for sparse keyspace.
## Summary of changes
* Use the scan interface to generate compaction data for sparse
keyspace.
* Track num of delta layers reads during scan.
* Read-trigger compaction: when a scan on the keyspace touches too many
delta files, generate an image layer. There are one hard-coded threshold
for now: max delta layers we want to touch for a scan.
* L0 compaction does not need to compute holes for metadata keyspace.
Know issue: the scan interface currently reads past the image layer,
which causes `delta_layer_accessed` keeps increasing even if image
layers are generated. The pull request to fix that will be separate, and
orthogonal to this one.

## Summary of changes
Tenant config is not persisted unless it's attached on the storage
controller. In this pull request, we persist the aux file policy flag in
the `index_part.json`.
Admins can set `switch_aux_file_policy` in the storage controller or
using the page server API. Upon the first aux file gets written, the
write path will compare the aux file policy target with the current
policy. If it is switch-able, we will do the switch. Otherwise, the
original policy will be used. The test cases show what the admins can do
/ cannot do.
The `last_aux_file_policy` is stored in `IndexPart`. Updates to the
persisted policy are done via
`schedule_index_upload_for_aux_file_policy_update`. On the write path,
the writer will update the field.

## Summary of changes
This pull request adds a size estimator for aux files. Each timeline
stores a cached `isize` for the estimated total size of aux files. It
gets reset on basebackup, and gets updated for each aux file
modification. TODO: print a warning when it exceeds the size.
The size metrics is not accurate. Race between `on_basebackup` and other
functions could create a negative basebackup size, but the chance is
rare. Anyways, this does not impose any extra I/Os to the storage as
everything is computed in-memory.
The aux files are only stored on shard 0. As basebackups are only
generated on shard 0, only shard 0 will report this metrics.

This pull request adds the new basebackup read path + aux file write
path. In the regression test, all logical replication tests are run with
matrix aux_file_v2=false/true.
Also fixed the vectored get code path to correctly return missing key
error when being called from the unified sequential get code path.

We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
Release notes: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/02/Rust-1.78.0.html
Prior update was in #7198
extracted (and tested) from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7468, part of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7462.
The current codebase assumes the keyspace is dense -- which means that
if we have a keyspace of 0x00-0x100, we assume every key (e.g., 0x00,
0x01, 0x02, ...) exists in the storage engine. However, the assumption
does not hold any more in metadata keyspace. The metadata keyspace is
sparse. It is impossible to do per-key check.
Ideally, we should not have the assumption of dense keyspace at all, but
this would incur a lot of refactors. Therefore, we split the keyspaces
we have to dense/sparse and handle them differently in the code for now.
At some point in the future, we should assume all keyspaces are sparse.
## Summary of changes
* Split collect_keyspace to return dense+sparse keyspace.
* Do not allow generating image layers for sparse keyspace (for now --
will fix this next week, we need image layers anyways).
* Generate delta layers for sparse keyspace.

Implements an approach different from the one #7488 chose: We now return
`past` instead of `present` (or`future`) when encountering the edge case
where commit_lsn < min_lsn. In my opinion, both `past` and `present` are
correct responses, but past is slightly better as the lsn returned by
`present` with #7488 is one too "new". In practice, this shouldn't
matter much, but shrug.
We agreed in slack that this is the better approach:
