John Spray 56f7d55ba7 pageserver: basic cancel/timeout for remote storage operations (#6097)
## Problem

Various places in remote storage were not subject to a timeout (thereby
stuck TCP connections could hold things up), and did not respect a
cancellation token (so things like timeline deletion or tenant detach
would have to wait arbitrarily long).



## Summary of changes

- Add download_cancellable and upload_cancellable helpers, and use them
in all the places we wait for remote storage operations (with the
exception of initdb downloads, where it would not have been safe).
- Add a cancellation token arg to `download_retry`.
- Use cancellation token args in various places that were missing one
per #5066

Closes: #5066 

Why is this only "basic" handling?
- Doesn't express difference between shutdown and errors in return
types, to avoid refactoring all the places that use an anyhow::Error
(these should all eventually return a more structured error type)
- Implements timeouts on top of remote storage, rather than within it:
this means that operations hitting their timeout will lose their
semaphore permit and thereby go to the back of the queue for their
retry.
- Doing a nicer job is tracked in
