Alexey Kondratov 9a4157dadb feat(compute): Set default application_name for pgbouncer connections (#9973)
## Problem

When client specifies `application_name`, pgbouncer propagates it to the
Postgres. Yet, if client doesn't do it, we have hard time figuring out
who opens a lot of Postgres connections (including the `cloud_admin`
ones).

See this investigation as an example:

## Summary of changes

I haven't found this documented, but it looks like pgbouncer accepts
standard Postgres connstring parameters in the connstring in the
`[databases]` section, so put the default `application_name=pgbouncer`
there. That way, we will always see who opens Postgres connections. I
did tests, and if client specifies a `application_name`, pgbouncer
overrides this default, so it only works if it's not specified or set to
blank `&application_name=` in the connection string.

This is the last place we could potentially open some Postgres
connections without `application_name`. Everything else should be either
of two:
1. Direct client connections without `application_name`, but these
should be strictly non-`cloud_admin` ones
2. Some ad-hoc internal connections, so if we see spikes of unidentified
`cloud_admin` connections, we will need to investigate it again.

patches/ Some extensions need to be patched to work with Neon. This directory contains such patches. They are applied to the extension sources in compute-node.Dockerfile

In addition to these, postgres itself, the neon postgres extension, and compute_ctl are built and copied into the compute image by compute-node.Dockerfile.
