The list timeline API gives something like
`"wal_source_connstr":"PgConnectionConfig { host:
Domain(\"safekeeper-5.us-east-2.aws.neon.build\"), port: 6500, password:
Some(REDACTED-STRING) }"`, which is weird. This pull request makes it
somehow like a connection string. This field is not used at least in the
neon database, so I assume no one is reading or parsing it.

This PR moves the control plane's spread-all-over-the-place client for
the pageserver management API into a separate module within the
pageserver crate.
I need that client to be async in my benchmarking work, so, this PR
switches to the async version of `reqwest`.
That is also the right direction generally IMO.
The switch to async in turn mandated converting most of the
`control_plane/` code to async.
Note that some of the client methods should be taking `TenantShardId`
instead of `TenantId`, but, none of the callers seem to be
sharding-aware.
Leaving that for another time:

This fixes all kinds of problems related to missing params,
like broken timestamps (due to `integer_datetimes`).
This solution is not ideal, but it will help. Meanwhile,
I'm going to dedicate some time to improving connection machinery.
Note that this **does not** fix problems with passing certain parameters
in a reverse direction, i.e. **from client to compute**. This is a
separate matter and will be dealt with in an upcoming PR.
Downsides are:
* We store all components of the config separately. `Url` stores them inside a single
`String` and a bunch of ints which point to different parts of the URL, which is
probably more efficient.
* It is now impossible to pass arbitrary connection strings to the configuration file,
one has to support all components explicitly. However, we never supported anything
except for `host:port` anyway.
Upsides are:
* This significantly restricts the space of possible connection strings, some of which
may be either invalid or unsupported. E.g. Postgres' connection strings may include
a bunch of parameters as query (e.g. `connect_timeout=`, `options=`). These are nether
validated by the current implementation, nor passed to the postgres client library,
Hence, storing separate fields expresses the intention better.
* The same connection configuration may be represented as a URL in multiple ways
(e.g. either `password=` in the query part or a standard URL password).
Now we have a single canonical way.
* Escaping is provided for `options=`.
Other possibilities considered:
* `newtype` with a `String` inside and some validation on creation.
This is more efficient, but harder to log for two reasons:
* Passwords should never end up in logs, so we have to somehow
* Escaped `options=` are harder to read, especially if URL-encoded,
and we use `options=` a lot.
