John Spray d5624cc505 pageserver: download small objects using a smaller timeout (#9938)
## Problem

It appears that the Azure storage API tends to hang TCP connections more
than S3 does.

Currently we use a 2 minute timeout for all downloads. This is large
because sometimes the objects we download are large. However, waiting 2
minutes when doing something like downloading a manifest on tenant
attach is problematic, because when someone is doing a "create tenant,
create timeline" workflow, that 2 minutes is long enough for them
reasonably to give up creating that timeline.

Rather than propagate oversized timeouts further up the stack, we should
use a different timeout for objects that we expect to be small.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9836

## Summary of changes

- Add a `small_timeout` configuration attribute to remote storage,
defaulting to 30 seconds (still a very generous period to do something
like download an index)
- Add a DownloadKind parameter to DownloadOpts, so that callers can
indicate whether they expect the object to be small or large.
- In the azure client, use small timeout for HEAD requests, and for GET
requests if DownloadKind::Small is used.
- Use DownloadKind::Small for manifests, indices, and heatmap downloads.

This PR intentionally does not make the equivalent change to the S3
client, to reduce blast radius in case this has unexpected consequences
(we could accomplish the same thing by editing lots of configs, but just
skipping the code is simpler for right now)
