John Spray a74b60066c storage controller: test for large shard counts (#7475)
## Problem

Storage controller was observed to have unexpectedly large memory
consumption when loaded with many thousands of shards.

This was recently fixed:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7493

...but we need a general test that the controller is well behaved with
thousands of shards.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7460
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7463

## Summary of changes

- Add test test_storage_controller_many_tenants to exercise the system's
behaviour with a more substantial workload. This test measures memory
consumption and reproduces #7460 before the other changes in this PR.
- Tweak reconcile_all's return value to make it nonzero if it spawns no
reconcilers, but _would_ have spawned some reconcilers if they weren't
blocked by the reconcile concurrency limit. This makes the test's
reconcile_until_idle behave as expected (i.e. not complete until the
system is nice and calm).
- Fix an issue where tenant migrations would leave a spurious secondary
location when migrated to some location that was not already their
secondary (this was an existing low-impact bug that tripped up the
test's consistency checks).

On the test with 8000 shards, the resident memory per shard is about
20KiB. This is not really per-shard memory: the primary source of memory
growth is the number of concurrent network/db clients we create.

With 8000 shards, the test takes 125s to run on my workstation.

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.
