Christian Schwarz 2edd59aefb impr(compaction): unify checking of CompactionError for cancellation reason (#12392)
There are a couple of places that call `CompactionError::is_cancel` but
don't check the `::Other` variant via downcasting for root cause being
cancellation.
The only place that does it is `log_compaction_error`.
It's sad we have to do it, but, until we get around cleaning up all the
culprits,
a step forward is to unify the behavior so that all places that inspect
a
`CompactionError` for cancellation reason follow the same behavior.

Thus, this PR ...
- moves the downcasting checks against the `::Other` variant from
  `log_compaction_error` into `is_cancel()` and
- enforces via type system that `.is_cancel()` is used to check whether
  a CompactionError is due to cancellation (matching on the
  `CompactionError::ShuttingDown` will cause a compile-time error).

I don't think there's a _serious_ case right now where matching instead
of using `is_cancel` causes problems.
The worst case I could find is the circuit breaker and
`compaction_failed`,
which don't really matter if we're shutting down the timeline anyway.
But it's unaesthetic and might cause log/alert noise down the line,
so, this PR fixes that at least.
