Heikki Linnakangas b568189f7b Build dummy libcommunicator into the 'neon' extension (#12266)
This doesn't do anything interesting yet, but demonstrates linking Rust
code to the neon Postgres extension, so that we can review and test
drive just the build process changes independently.

neon extension consists of several parts:

shared preload library neon.so

  • implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.

  • walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.

  • control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.

  • remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.

  • file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.

  • relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.

SQL functions in neon--*.sql

Utility functions to expose neon specific information to user and metrics collection. This extension is created in all databases in the cluster by default.
