John Spray b6ec11ad78 control_plane: generalize attachment_service to handle sharding (#6251)
## Problem

To test sharding, we need something to control it. We could write python
code for doing this from the test runner, but this wouldn't be usable
with neon_local run directly, and when we want to write tests with large
number of shards/tenants, Rust is a better fit efficiently handling all
the required state.

This service enables automated tests to easily get a system with
sharding/HA without the test itself having to set this all up by hand:
existing tests can be run against sharded tenants just by setting a
shard count when creating the tenant.

## Summary of changes

Attachment service was previously a map of TenantId->TenantState, where
the principal state stored for each tenant was the generation and the
last attached pageserver. This enabled it to serve the re-attach and
validate requests that the pageserver requires.

In this PR, the scope of the service is extended substantially to do
overall management of tenants in the pageserver, including
tenant/timeline creation, live migration, evacuation of offline
pageservers etc. This is done using synchronous code to make declarative
changes to the tenant's intended state (`TenantState.policy` and
`TenantState.intent`), which are then translated into calls into the
pageserver by the `Reconciler`.

Top level summary of modules within
`control_plane/attachment_service/src`:
- `tenant_state`: structure that represents one tenant shard.
- `service`: implements the main high level such as tenant/timeline
creation, marking a node offline, etc.
- `scheduler`: for operations that need to pick a pageserver for a
tenant, construct a scheduler and call into it.
- `compute_hook`: receive notifications when a tenant shard is attached
somewhere new. Once we have locations for all the shards in a tenant,
emit an update to postgres configuration via the neon_local `LocalEnv`.
- `http`: HTTP stubs. These mostly map to methods on `Service`, but are
separated for readability and so that it'll be easier to adapt if/when
we switch to another RPC layer.
- `node`: structure that describes a pageserver node. The most important
attribute of a node is its availability: marking a node offline causes
tenant shards to reschedule away from it.

This PR is a precursor to implementing the full sharding service for
prod (#6342). What's the difference between this and a production-ready
controller for pageservers?
- JSON file persistence to be replaced with a database
- Limited observability.
- No concurrency limits. Marking a pageserver offline will try and
migrate every tenant to a new pageserver concurrently, even if there are
thousands.
- Very simple scheduler that only knows to pick the pageserver with
fewest tenants, and place secondary locations on a different pageserver
than attached locations: it does not try to place shards for the same
tenant on different pageservers. This matters little in tests, because
picking the least-used pageserver usually results in round-robin
placement.
- Scheduler state is rebuilt exhaustively for each operation that
requires a scheduler.
- Relies on neon_local mechanisms for updating postgres: in production
this would be something that flows through the real control plane.
