Vlad Lazar 35854928d9 pageserver: use identity file as node id authority and remove init command and config-override flags (#7766)
Ansible will soon write the node id to `identity.toml` in the work dir
for new pageservers. On the pageserver side, we read the node id from
the identity file if it is present and use that as the source of truth.
If the identity file is missing, cannot be read, or does not
deserialise, start-up is aborted.
 
This PR also removes the `--init` mode and the `--config-override` flag
from the `pageserver` binary.
The neon_local is already not using these flags anymore.

Ansible still uses them until the linked change is merged & deployed,
so, this PR has to land simultaneously or after the Ansible change due
to that.

Control Plane and Neon Local

This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command.

Example: Start with Postgres 16

To create and start a local development environment with Postgres 16, you will need to provide --pg-version flag to 3 of the start-up commands.

cargo neon init --pg-version 16
cargo neon start
cargo neon tenant create --set-default --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint start main

Example: Create Test User and Database

By default, cargo neon starts an endpoint with cloud_admin and postgres database. If you want to have a role and a database similar to what we have on the cloud service, you can do it with the following commands when starting an endpoint.

cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16 --update-catalog true
cargo neon endpoint start main --create-test-user true

The first command creates neon_superuser and necessary roles. The second command creates test user and neondb database. You will see a connection string that connects you to the test user after running the second command.
