Conrad Ludgate d9ced89ec0 feat(proxy): require TLS to compute if prompted by cplane (#10717)
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23008

For TLS between proxy and compute, we are using an internally
provisioned CA to sign the compute certificates. This change ensures
that proxy will load them from a supplied env var pointing to the
correct file - this file and env var will be configured later, using a
kubernetes secret.

Control plane responds with a `server_name` field if and only if the
compute uses TLS. This server name is the name we use to validate the
certificate. Control plane still sends us the IP to connect to as well
(to support overlay IP).

To support this change, I'd had to split `host` and `host_addr` into
separate fields. Using `host_addr` and bypassing `lookup_addr` if
possible (which is what happens in production). `host` then is only used
for the TLS connection.

There's no blocker to merging this. The code paths will not be triggered
until the new control plane is deployed and the `enableTLS` compute flag
is enabled on a project.

This directory contains libraries that are specific for proxy.

Currently, it contains a signficant fork/refactoring of rust-postgres that no longer reflects the API of the original library. Since it was so significant, it made sense to upgrade it to it's own set of libraries.

Proxy needs unique access to the protocol, which explains why such heavy modifications were necessary.
