Christian Schwarz 438fd2aaf3 neon_local: background_process: launch all processes in repo dir (or datadir) (#8058)
Before this PR, storage controller and broker would run in the
PWD of neon_local, i.e., most likely the checkout of neon.git.

With this PR, the shared infrastructure for background processes
sets the PWD.

Benefits:
* easy listing of processes in a repo dir using `lsof`, see added
  comment in the code
* coredumps go in the right directory (next to the process)
* generally matching common expectations, I think

Changes:
* set the working directory in `background_process` module
* drive-by: fix reliance of storage_controller on NEON_REPO_DIR being
set by neon_local for the local compute hook to work correctly

Control Plane and Neon Local

This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command.

Example: Start with Postgres 16

To create and start a local development environment with Postgres 16, you will need to provide --pg-version flag to 3 of the start-up commands.

cargo neon init --pg-version 16
cargo neon start
cargo neon tenant create --set-default --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint start main

Example: Create Test User and Database

By default, cargo neon starts an endpoint with cloud_admin and postgres database. If you want to have a role and a database similar to what we have on the cloud service, you can do it with the following commands when starting an endpoint.

cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16 --update-catalog true
cargo neon endpoint start main --create-test-user true

The first command creates neon_superuser and necessary roles. The second command creates test user and neondb database. You will see a connection string that connects you to the test user after running the second command.
