Alex Chi Z. 71f38d1354 feat(pageserver): support schedule gc-compaction (#9809)
## Problem

part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114

gc-compaction can take a long time. This patch adds support for
scheduling a gc-compaction job. The compaction loop will first handle
L0->L1 compaction, and then gc compaction. The scheduled jobs are stored
in a non-persistent queue within the tenant structure.

This will be the building block for the partial compaction trigger -- if
the system determines that we need to do a gc compaction, it will
partition the keyspace and schedule several jobs. Each of these jobs
will run for a short amount of time (i.e, 1 min). L0 compaction will be
prioritized over gc compaction.

## Summary of changes
 
* Add compaction scheduler in tenant.
* Run scheduled compaction in integration tests.
* Change the manual compaction API to allow schedule a compaction
instead of immediately doing it.
* Add LSN upper bound as gc-compaction parameter. If we schedule partial
compactions, gc_cutoff might move across different runs. Therefore, we
need to pass a pre-determined gc_cutoff beforehand. (TODO: support LSN
lower bound so that we can compact arbitrary "rectangle" in the layer
map)
* Refactor the gc_compaction internal interface.
