Christian Schwarz 04370b48b3 fix(storcon): optimization validation makes decisions based on wrong SecondaryProgress (#11229)
# Refs

- fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11228

# Problem High-Level

When storcon validates whether a `ScheduleOptimizationAction` should be
applied, it retrieves the `tenant_secondary_status` to determine whether
a secondary is ready for the optimization.

When collecting results, it associates secondary statuses with the wrong
optimization actions in the batch of optimizations that we're
validating.

The result is that we make the decision for shard/location X based on
the SecondaryStatus of a random secondary location Y in the current
batch of optimizations.

A possible symptom is an early cutover, as seen in this engineering
investigation here:

# Problem Code-Level

This code here in `optimize_all_validate`


97e2e27f68/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L7012-L7029)

zips the `want_secondary_status` with the Vec returned from
`tenant_for_shards_api` .

However, the Vec returned from `want_secondary_status` is not ordered
(it uses FuturesUnordered internally).

# Solution

Sort the Vec in input order before returning it.

`optimize_all_validate` was the only caller affected by this problem

While at it, also future-proof similar-looking function
`tenant_for_shards`.
None of its callers care about the order, but this type of function
signature is easy to use incorrectly.

# Future Work

Avoid the additional iteration, map, and allocation.

Change API to leverage AsyncFn (async closure).
And/or invert `tenant_for_shards_api` into a Future ext trait / iterator
adaptor thing.
