Erik Grinaker f62047ae97 pageserver: add separate semaphore for L0 compaction (#10780)
## Problem

L0 compaction frequently gets starved out by other background tasks and
image/GC compaction. L0 compaction must be responsive to keep read
amplification under control.

Touches #10694.
Resolves #10689.

## Summary of changes

Use a separate semaphore for the L0-only compaction pass.

* Add a `CONCURRENT_L0_COMPACTION_TASKS` semaphore and
`BackgroundLoopKind::L0Compaction`.
* Add a setting `compaction_l0_semaphore` (default off via
`compaction_l0_first`).
* Use the L0 semaphore when doing an `OnlyL0Compaction` pass.
* Use the background semaphore when doing a regular compaction pass
(which includes an initial L0 pass).
* While waiting for the background semaphore, yield for L0 compaction if
triggered.
* Add `CompactFlags::NoYield` to disable L0 yielding, and set it for the
HTTP API route.
* Remove the old `use_compaction_semaphore` setting and
compaction-scoped semaphore.
* Remove the warning when waiting for a semaphore; it's noisy and we
have metrics.

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.
