Vlad Lazar e86fef05dd storcon: track preferred AZ for each tenant shard (#8937)
## Problem
We want to do AZ aware scheduling, but don't have enough metadata.

## Summary of changes
Introduce a `preferred_az_id` concept for each managed tenant shard.

In a future PR, the scheduler will use this as a soft preference. 
The idea is to try and keep the shard attachments within the same AZ.
Under the assumption that the compute was placed in the correct AZ,
this reduces the chances of cross AZ trafic from between compute and PS.

In terms of code changes we:
1. Add a new nullable `preferred_az_id` column to the `tenant_shards`
table. Also include an in-memory counterpart.
2. Populate the preferred az on tenant creation and shard splits.
3. Add an endpoint which allows to bulk-set preferred AZs.

(3) gives us the migration path. I'll write a script which queries the
cplane db in the region and sets the preferred az of all shards with an 
active compute to the AZ of said compute. For shards without an active compute, 
I'll use the AZ of the currently attached pageserver
since this is what cplane uses now to schedule computes.
