We want to switch away from and deprecate the `--compute-hook-url` param for the storcon in favour of `--control-plane-url` because it allows us to construct urls with `notify-safekeepers`. This PR switches the pytests and neon_local from a `control_plane_compute_hook_api` to a new param named `control_plane_hooks_api` which is supposed to point to the parent of the `notify-attach` URL. We still support reading the old url from disk to not be too disruptive with existing deployments, but we just ignore it. Also add docs for the `notify-safekeepers` upcall API.

Local Development Control Plane (neon_local)
This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command. This is a convenience to invoke
the neon_local binary.
Note: this is a dev/test tool -- a minimal control plane suitable for testing code changes locally, but not suitable for running production systems.
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.
