Alex Chi Z. 29699529df feat(pageserver): filter keys with gc-compaction (#9004)
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8002

Close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8920

Legacy compaction (as well as gc-compaction) rely on the GC process to
remove unused layer files, but this relies on many factors (i.e., key
partition) to ensure data in a dropped table can be eventually removed.

In gc-compaction, we consider the keyspace information when doing the
compaction process. If a key is not in the keyspace, we will skip that
key and not include it in the final output.

However, this is not easy to implement because gc-compaction considers
branch points (i.e., retain_lsns) and the retained keyspaces could
change across different LSNs. Therefore, for now, we only remove aux v1
keys in the compaction process.

## Summary of changes

* Add `FilterIterator` to filter out keys.
* Integrate `FilterIterator` with gc-compaction.
* Add `collect_gc_compaction_keyspace` for a spec of keyspaces that can
be retained during the gc-compaction process.
