## Problem
Occasionally, we get failures to start the storage controller's db with
errors like:
```
aborting due to panic at /__w/neon/neon/control_plane/src/background_process.rs:349:67:
claim pid file: lock file
Caused by:
file is already locked
```
e.g.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-9428/11380574562/index.html#/testresult/1c68d413ea9ecd4a
This is happening in a stop,start cycle during a test. Presumably the
pidfile from the startup background process is still held at the point
we stop, because we let pg_ctl keep running in the background.
## Summary of changes
- Refactor pg_ctl invocations into a helper
- In the controller's `start` function, use pg_ctl & a wait loop for
pg_isready, instead of using background_process

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.
