===============================================================================

storage_sync module rewrite
===========================

The storage_sync code is rewritten. New module name is storage_sync2, mostly to
make a more reasonable git diff.

The updated block comment in storage_sync2.rs describes the changes quite well,
so, we will not reproduce that comment here. TL;DR:
- Global sync queue and RemoteIndex are replaced with per-timeline
  `RemoteTimelineClient` structure that contains a queue for UploadOperations
  to ensure proper ordering and necessary metadata.
- Before deleting local layer files, wait for ongoing UploadOps to finish
  (wait_completion()).
- Download operations are not queued and executed immediately.

Changes to Tenant Loading
=========================

Initial sync part was rewritten as well and represents the other major change
that serves as a foundation for on-demand downloads. Routines for attaching and
loading shifted directly to Tenant struct and now are asynchronous and spawned
into the background.

Since this patch doesn’t introduce on-demand download of layers we fully
synchronize with the remote during pageserver startup. See details in
`Timeline::reconcile_with_remote` and `Timeline::download_missing`.

Changes to Tenant States
========================

The “Active” state has lost its “background_jobs_running: bool” member. That
variable indicated whether the GC & Compaction background loops are spawned or
not. With this patch, they are now always spawned. Unit tests (#[test]) use the
TenantConf::{gc_period,compaction_period} to disable their effect (15db566).

This patch introduces a new tenant state, “Attaching”. A tenant that is being
attached starts in this state and transitions to “Active” once it finishes
download.

The `GET /tenant` endpoints returns `TenantInfo::has_in_progress_downloads`. We
derive the value for that field from the tenant state now, to remain
backwards-compatible with cloud.git. We will remove that field when we switch
to on-demand downloads.

Changes to Timeline States
==========================

The TimelineInfo::awaits_download field is now equivalent to the tenant being
in Attaching state.  Previously, download progress was tracked per timeline.
With this change, it’s only tracked per tenant. When on-demand downloads
arrive, the field will be completely obsolete.  Deprecation is tracked in
isuse #2930.

Crash-safe & Resumable Tenant Attach
====================================

Previously, the attach operation was not persistent. I.e., when tenant attach
was interrupted by a crash, the pageserver would not continue attaching after
pageserver restart. In fact, the half-finished tenant directory on disk would
simply be skipped by tenant_mgr because it lacked the metadata file (it’s
written last). This patch introduces an “attaching” marker file inside that is
present inside the tenant directory while the tenant is attaching. During
pageserver startup, tenant_mgr will resume attach if that file is present. If
not, it assumes that the local tenant state is consistent and tries to load the
tenant. If that fails, the tenant transitions into Broken state.
