Heikki Linnakangas 66ec135676 Refactor pytest fixtures
Instead of having a lot of separate fixtures for setting up the page
server, the compute nodes, the safekeepers etc., have one big ZenithEnv
object that encapsulates the whole environment. Every test either uses
a shared "zenith_simple_env" fixture, which contains the default setup
of a pageserver with no authentication, and no safekeepers. Tests that
want to use safekeepers or authentication set up a custom test-specific
ZenithEnv fixture.

Gathering information about the whole environment into one object makes
some things simpler. For example, when a new compute node is created,
you no longer need to pass the 'wal_acceptors' connection string as
argument to the 'postgres.create_start' function. The 'create_start'
function fetches that information directly from the ZenithEnv object.

# Test where Postgres generates a lot of WAL, and it's garbage collected away, but
# no pages are evicted so that Postgres uses an old LSN in a GetPage request.
# We had a bug where the page server failed to find the page version because it
# thought it was already garbage collected away, because the LSN in the GetPage
# request was very old and the WAL from that time was indeed already removed.
# In reality, the LSN on a GetPage request coming from a primary server is
# just a hint that the page hasn't been modified since that LSN, and the page
# server should return the latest page version regardless of the LSN.
