Heikki Linnakangas 1dce2a9e74 Change how pageserver connection info is passed in compute spec (#12604)
Add a new 'pageserver_connection_info' field in the compute spec. It
replaces the old 'pageserver_connstring' field with a more complicated
struct that includes both libpq and grpc URLs, for each shard (or only
one of the the URLs, depending on the configuration). It also includes a
flag suggesting which one to use; compute_ctl now uses it to decide
which protocol to use for the basebackup.

This is backwards-compatible with everything that's in production. If
the control plane fills in `pageserver_connection_info`, compute_ctl
uses that. If it fills in the
`pageserver_connstring`/`shard_stripe_size` fields, it uses those. As
last resort, it uses the 'neon.pageserver_connstring' GUC from the list
of Postgres settings.

The 'grpc' flag in the endpoint config is now more of a suggestion, and
it's used to populate the 'prefer_protocol' flag in the compute spec.
Regardless of the flag, compute_ctl gets both URLs, so it can choose to
use libpq or grpc as it wishes. It currently always obeys the flag to
choose which method to use for getting the basebackup, but Postgres
itself will always use the libpq protocol. (That will be changed with
the new rust-based communicator project, which implements the gRPC
client in the compute).

After that, the `pageserver_connection_info.prefer_protocol` flag in the
spec file can be used to control whether compute_ctl uses grpc or libpq.
The actual compute's grpc usage will be controlled by the
`neon.enable_new_communicator` GUC (not yet; that will be introduced in
the future, with the new rust-base communicator project). It can be set
separately from 'prefer_protocol'.

Later:

- Once all old computes are gone, remove the code to pass
`neon.pageserver_connstring`
