## Problem
Safekeepers currently decode and interpret WAL for each shard
separately.
This is wasteful in terms of CPU memory usage - we've seen this in
profiles.
## Summary of changes
Fan-out interpreted WAL to multiple shards.
The basic is that wal decoding and interpretation happens in a separate
tokio task and senders
attach to it. Senders only receive batches concerning their shard and
only past the Lsn they've last seen.
Fan-out is gated behind the `wal_reader_fanout` safekeeper flag
(disabled by default for now).
When fan-out is enabled, it might be desirable to control the absolute
delta between the
current position and a new shard's desired position (i.e. how far behind
or ahead a shard may be).
`max_delta_for_fanout` is a new optional safekeeper flag which dictates
whether to create a new
WAL reader or attach to the existing one. By default, this behaviour is
disabled. Let's consider enabling
it if we spot the need for it in the field.
## Testing
Tests passed [here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10301)
with wal reader fanout enabled
as of
34f6a71718.
