This is a hacky implementation of WebSocket server, embedded into our
postgres proxy. The server is used to allow https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless
to connect to our postgres from browser and serverless javascript functions.
How it will work (general schema):
- browser opens a websocket connection to
`wss://ep-abc-xyz-123.xx-central-1.aws.neon.tech/`
- proxy accepts this connection and terminates TLS (https)
- inside encrypted tunnel (HTTPS), browser initiates plain
(non-encrypted) postgres connection
- proxy performs auth as in usual plain pg connection and forwards
connection to the compute

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.
Previously, proxy didn't forward auxiliary `options` parameter
and other ones to the client's compute node, e.g.
```
$ psql "user=john host=localhost dbname=postgres options='-cgeqo=off'"
postgres=# show geqo;
┌──────┐
│ geqo │
├──────┤
│ on │
└──────┘
(1 row)
```
With this patch we now forward `options`, `application_name` and `replication`.

The new format has a few benefits: it's shorter, simpler and
human-readable as well. We don't use base64 anymore, since
url encoding got us covered.
We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the
payload; the users should know it's all about passing the
correct project name.
Now proxy binary accepts `--auth-backend` CLI option, which determines
auth scheme and cluster routing method. Following backends are currently
implemented:
* legacy
old method, when username ends with `@zenith` it uses md5 auth dbname as
the cluster name; otherwise, it sends a login link and waits for the console
to call back
* console
new SCRAM-based console API; uses SNI info to select the destination
cluster
* postgres
uses postgres to select auth secrets of existing roles. Useful for local
testing
* link
sends login link for all usernames
* `cloud::legacy` talks to Cloud API V1.
* `cloud::api` defines Cloud API v2.
* `cloud::local` mocks the Cloud API V2 using a local postgres instance.
* It's possible to choose between API versions using the `--api-version` flag.
When failpoint feature is disabled it throws away passed code so code
inside is not guaranteed to compile when feature is disabled. In this
particular case code is obsolete so removing it.
* [proxy] Add SCRAM auth
* [proxy] Implement some tests for SCRAM
* Refactoring + test fixes
* Hide SCRAM mechanism behind `#[cfg(test)]`
Currently we only use it in tests, so we hide all relevant
module behind `#[cfg(test)]` to prevent "unused item" warnings.
workspace_hack is needed to avoid recompilation when different crates
inside the workspace depend on the same packages but with different
features being enabled. Problem occurs when you build crates separately
one by one. So this is irrelevant to our CI setup because there we build
all binaries at once, but it may be relevant for local development.
this also changes cargo's resolver version to 2
* [proxy] Propagate most errors to user
This change enables propagation of most errors to the user
(e.g. auth and connectivity errors). Some of them will be
stripped of sensitive information.
As a side effect, most occurrences of `anyhow::Error` were
replaced with concrete error types.
* [proxy] Box weighty errors
This change makes most parts of the code asynchronous, except
for the `mgmt` subsystem (we're going to drop it anyway).

to pass current_timeline_size to compute node
Put standby_status_update fields into ZenithFeedback and send them as one message.
Pass values sizes together with keys in ZenithFeedback message.
We depends on rustls in postgres_backend anyway, so might as well use it
for all TLS stuff. Seems better to depend on only one library both from a
security point of view, and because fewer dependencies means less code to
compile. With this commit, we no longer depend on OpenSSL.
The other crates in this repository use zenithdb/rust-postgres as a
dependency for the related items, instead of the crates.io versions.
Switching to using that for the proxy as well removes an additional
three dependencies when we compile. (319 -> 316)
