## Problem
Every time we make changes to the read path to fix a bug or add a
feature,
we end up adding another incomprehensible test.
## Summary of changes
Add some generic infrastructure for generating a layer map from a type
spec
and use that for a read path test. The test is randomized but uses a
fixed seed
by default. A fuzzing mode is available for confidence building.
See [Notion
page](https://www.notion.so/neondatabase/Read-Path-Unit-Testing-Fuzzing-1d1f189e0047806c8e5cd37781b0a350?pvs=4)
for a diagram of the layer map
used.
Just for fun I tried removing [this
commit](9990199cb4)
from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11494
and it caught the bug in the normal mode (no fuzzing required).
