Vlad Lazar 72b3c9cd11 pageserver: fix wal receiver hang on remote client shutdown (#12348)
## Problem

Druing shard splits we shut down the remote client early and allow the
parent shard to keep ingesting data. While ingesting data, the wal
receiver task may wait for the current flush to complete in order to
apply backpressure. Notifications are delivered via
`Timeline::layer_flush_done_tx`.

When the remote client was being shut down the flush loop exited
whithout delivering a notification. This left
`Timeline::wait_flush_completion` hanging indefinitely which blocked the
shutdown of the wal receiver task, and, hence, the shard split.

## Summary of Changes

Deliver a final notification when the flush loop is shutting down
without the timeline cancel cancellation token having fired. I tried
writing a test for this, but got stuck in failpoint hell and decided
it's not worth it.

`test_sharding_autosplit`, which reproduces this reliably in CI, passed
with the proposed fix in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12304.
