Peter Bendel f51ed4a2c4 "disable" disk eviction in pagebench periodic benchmark (#12487)
## Problem

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12464 introduced new defaults
for pageserver disk based eviction which activated disk based eviction
for pagebench periodic pagebench.
This caused the testcase to fail.

## Summary of changes

Override the new defaults during testcase execution.

## Test run

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/16120217757/job/45483869734

Test run was successful, so merging this now

How to reproduce benchmark results / run these benchmarks interactively.

  1. Get an EC2 instance with Instance Store. Use the same instance type as used for the benchmark run.
  2. Mount the Instance Store => neon.git/scripts/ps_ec2_setup_instance_store
  3. Use a pytest command line (see other READMEs further up in the pytest hierarchy).

For tests that take a long time to set up / consume a lot of storage space, we use the test suite's repo_dir snapshotting functionality (from_repo_dir). It supports mounting snapshots using overlayfs, which improves iteration time.

Here's a full command line.
