## Problem
We don't allow regular end-users to use `k8s-pod` provisioner,
but we still use it in nightly benchmarks
## Summary of changes
- Remove `provisioner` input from `neon-create-project` action, use
`k8s-neonvm` as a default provioner
- Change `neon-` platform prefix to `neonvm-`
- Remove `neon-captest-freetier` and `neon-captest-new` as we already
have their `neonvm` counterparts
## Problem
We want to run performance tests on all supported cloud providers.
We want to run most tests on the postgres version which is default for
new projects in production, currently (July 24) this is postgres version
16
## Summary of changes
- change default postgres version for some (performance) tests to 16
(which is our default for new projects in prod anyhow)
- add azure region to pgbench_compare jobs
- add azure region to pgvector benchmarking jobs
- re-used project `weathered-snowflake-88107345` was prepared with 1
million embeddings running on 7 minCU 7 maxCU in azure region to compare
with AWS region (pgvector indexing and hnsw queries)
- see job pgbench-pgvector
- Note we now have a 11 environments combinations where we run
pgbench-compare and 5 are for k8s-pod (deprecated) which we can remove
in the future once auto-scaling team approves.
## Logs
A current run with the changes from this pull request is running here
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/9972096222
Note that we currently expect some failures due to
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8275
- instability of projects on azure region
## Problem
```
Could not resolve host: console.stage.neon.tech
```
## Summary of changes
- replace `console.stage.neon.tech` with `console-stage.neon.build`
Migrate Nightly Benchmarks from captest to staging.
- Migrate GitHub Workflows
- Replace `zenith-benchmarker` with regular runners
- Remove `environment` parameter from Neon GitHub Actions, add
`postgres_version`
- The only job left on captest is `neon-captest-reuse`, which will be
moved to staging after its project migration.
Ref https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/2836
Change the default region for staging from `us-east-1` to `us-east-2`
for project creation.
Remove REGION_ID from `neon-branch-create` since we don't use it.
Add `neon-branch-create` / `neon-branch-delete` to allow using branches
in tests.
I have a couple of use cases in mind:
- For destructive tests with a big DB, we can create the DB once in
advance and then use branches without the need to recreate the DB itself
after tests change it.
- We can run tests in parallel (if there're compute-bound).
Also migrate API v2 for `neon-project-create` / `neon-project-delete`
* github/actions: add neon projects related actions
* workflows/benchmarking: create projects using API
* workflows/pg_clients: create projects using API
