## Problem
LFC is not enabled by default in tests, but it is enabled in production.
This increases the risk of errors in the production environment, which
were not found during the routine workflow.
However, enabling LFC for all the tests may overload the disk on our
servers and increase the number of failures.
So, we try enabling LFC in one case to evaluate the possible risk.
## Summary of changes
A new environment variable, USE_LFC is introduced. If it is set to true,
LFC is enabled by default in all the tests.
In our workflow, we enable LFC for PG17, release, x86-64, and disabled
for all other combinations.

After #8655, we needed to mark some tests to shut down immediately. To
aid these tests, try the new pattern of `flush_ep_to_pageserver`
followed by a non-compacting checkpoint. This moves the general graceful
shutdown problem of having too much to flush at shutdown into the test.
Also, add logging for how long the graceful shutdown took, if we got to
complete it for faster log eyeballing.
