John Spray 83ae2bd82c pageserver: generation number support in keys and indices (#5140)
## Problem

To implement split brain protection, we need tenants and timelines to be
aware of their current generation, and use it when composing S3 keys.


## Summary of changes

- A `Generation` type is introduced in the `utils` crate -- it is in
this broadly-visible location because it will later be used from
`control_plane/` as well as `pageserver/`. Generations can be a number,
None, or Broken, to support legacy content (None), and Tenants in the
broken state (Broken).
- Tenant, Timeline, and RemoteTimelineClient all get a generation
attribute
- IndexPart's IndexLayerMetadata has a new `generation` attribute.
Legacy layers' metadata will deserialize to Generation::none().
- Remote paths are composed with a trailing generation suffix. If a
generation is equal to Generation::none() (as it currently always is),
then this suffix is an empty string.
- Functions for composing remote storage paths added in
remote_timeline_client: these avoid the way that we currently always
compose a local path and then strip the prefix, and avoid requiring a
PageserverConf reference on functions that want to create remote paths
(the conf is only needed for local paths). These are less DRY than the
old functions, but remote storage paths are a very rarely changing
thing, so it's better to write out our paths clearly in the functions
than to compose timeline paths from tenant paths, etc.
- Code paths that construct a Tenant take a `generation` argument in
anticipation that we will soon load generations on startup before
constructing Tenant.

Until the whole feature is done, we don't want any generation-ful keys
though: so initially we will carry this everywhere with the special
Generation::none() value.
