Vlad Lazar 148b3701cf pageserver: add metrics for get page batch breaking reasons (#11545)
## Problem

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11494 changes the batching
logic, but we don't have a way to evaluate it.

## Summary of changes

This PR introduces a global and per timeline metric which tracks the
reason for
which a batch was broken.

How to reproduce benchmark results / run these benchmarks interactively.

  1. Get an EC2 instance with Instance Store. Use the same instance type as used for the benchmark run.
  2. Mount the Instance Store => neon.git/scripts/ps_ec2_setup_instance_store
  3. Use a pytest command line (see other READMEs further up in the pytest hierarchy).

For tests that take a long time to set up / consume a lot of storage space, we use the test suite's repo_dir snapshotting functionality (from_repo_dir). It supports mounting snapshots using overlayfs, which improves iteration time.

Here's a full command line.
