Kirill Bulatov bce4233d3a Rework Cargo.toml dependencies (#3322)
* Use workspace variables from cargo, coming with rustc
[1.64](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#version-1640-2022-09-22)

See
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-package-table
and
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-dependencies-table
sections.

Now, all dependencies in all non-root `Cargo.toml` files are defined as 
```
clap.workspace = true
```

sometimes, when extra features are needed, as 
```
bytes = {workspace = true, features = ['serde'] }
```

With the actual declarations (with shared features and version
numbers/file paths/etc.) in the root Cargo.toml.
Features are additive:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#inheriting-a-dependency-from-a-workspace

* Uses the mechanism above to set common, 2021, edition and license across the
workspace

* Mechanically bumps a few dependencies

* Updates hakari format, as it suggested:
```
work/neon/neon kb/cargo-templated ❯ cargo hakari generate
info: no changes detected
info: new hakari format version available: 3 (current: 2)
(add or update `dep-format-version = "3"` in hakari.toml, then run `cargo hakari generate && cargo hakari manage-deps`)
```

Compute node tools

Postgres wrapper (compute_ctl) is intended to be run as a Docker entrypoint or as a systemd ExecStart option. It will handle all the Neon specifics during compute node initialization:

  • compute_ctl accepts cluster (compute node) specification as a JSON file.
  • Every start is a fresh start, so the data directory is removed and initialized again on each run.
  • Next it will put configuration files into the PGDATA directory.
  • Sync safekeepers and get commit LSN.
  • Get basebackup from pageserver using the returned on the previous step LSN.
  • Try to start postgres and wait until it is ready to accept connections.
  • Check and alter/drop/create roles and databases.
  • Hang waiting on the postmaster process to exit.

Also compute_ctl spawns two separate service threads:

  • compute-monitor checks the last Postgres activity timestamp and saves it into the shared ComputeNode;
  • http-endpoint runs a Hyper HTTP API server, which serves readiness and the last activity requests.

Usage example:

compute_ctl -D /var/db/postgres/compute \
            -C 'postgresql://cloud_admin@localhost/postgres' \
            -S /var/db/postgres/specs/current.json \
            -b /usr/local/bin/postgres

Tests

Cargo formatter:

cargo fmt

Run tests:

cargo test

Clippy linter:

cargo clippy --all --all-targets -- -Dwarnings -Drust-2018-idioms

Cross-platform compilation

Imaging that you are on macOS (x86) and you want a Linux GNU (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform in rust terminology) executable.

Using docker

You can use a throw-away Docker container (rustlang/rust image) for doing that:

docker run --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/compute_tools \
    -w /compute_tools \
    -t rustlang/rust:nightly cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

or one-line:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/compute_tools -w /compute_tools -t rust:latest cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Using rust native cross-compilation

Another way is to add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target on your host system:

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Install macOS cross-compiler toolchain:

brew tap SergioBenitez/osxct
brew install x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

And finally run cargo build:

CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release
