John Spray c84656a53e pageserver: implement auto-splitting (#7681)
## Problem

Currently tenants are only split into multiple shards if a human being
calls the API to do it.

Issue: #7388 

## Summary of changes

- Add a pageserver API for returning the top tenants by size
- Add a step to the controller's background loop where if there is no
reconciliation or optimization to be done, it looks for things to split.
- Add a test that runs pgbench on many tenants concurrently, and checks
that splitting happens as expected as tenants grow, without interrupting
the client I/O.

This PR is quite basic: there is a tasklist in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7388 for further work. This
PR is meant to be safe (off by default), and sufficient to enable our
staging environment to run lots of sharded tenants without a human
having to set them up.

Control Plane and Neon Local

This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command.

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.
