Konstantin Knizhnik 02936b82c5 Fix effective_lsn calculation for prefetch (#11219)
## Problem

See  https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1741594233757489

Consider the following scenario:

1. Backend A wants to prefetch some block B
2. Backend A checks that block B is not present in shared buffer
3. Backend A registers new prefetch request and calls
prefetch_do_request
4. prefetch_do_request calls neon_get_request_lsns
5. neon_get_request_lsns obtains LwLSN for block B
6. Backend B downloads B, updates and wallogs it (let say to Lsn1)
7. Block B is once again thrown from shared buffers, its LwLSN is set to
Lsn1
8. Backend A obtains current flush LSN, let's say that it is Lsn1
9. Backend A stores Lsn1 as effective_lsn in prefetch slot.
10. Backend A reads page B with LwLSN=Lsn1
11. Backend A finds in prefetch ring response for prefetch request for
block B with effective_lsn=Lsn1, so that it satisfies
neon_prefetch_response_usable condition
12. Backend A uses deteriorated version of the page!

## Summary of changes

Use `not_modified_since` as `effective_lsn`. 
It should not cause some degrade of performance because we store LwLSN
when it was not found in LwLSN hash, so if page is not changed till
prefetch response is arrived, then LwLSN should not be changed.
