Peter Bendel f57c2fe8fb Automatically prepare/restore Aurora and RDS databases from pg_dump in benchmarking workflow (#8682)
## Problem

We use infrastructure as code (TF) to deploy AWS Aurora and AWS RDS
Postgres database clusters.
Whenever we have a change in TF (e.g. **every year** to upgrade to a
higher Postgres version or when we change the cluster configuration) TF
will apply the change and create a new AWS database cluster.

However our benchmarking testcase also expects databases in these
clusters and tables loaded with data.
So we add auto-detection - if the AWS RDS instances are "empty" we
create the necessary databases and restore a pg_dump.

**Important Notes:** 

- These steps are NOT run in each benchmarking run, but only after a new
RDS instance has been deployed.
- the benchmarking workflows use GitHub secrets to find the connection
string for the database. These secrets still need to be (manually or
programmatically using git cli) updated if some port of the connection
string (e.g. user, password or hostname) changes.

## Summary of changes

In each benchmarking run check if
- database has already been created - if not create it
- database has already been restored - if not restore it

Supported databases
- tpch
- clickbench
- user example

Supported platforms:
- AWS RDS Postgres
- AWS Aurora serverless Postgres

Sample workflow run - but this one uses Neon database to test the
restore step and not real AWS databases

Sample workflow run - with real AWS database clusters

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/10346816389/job/28635997653

Verification in second run - with real AWS database clusters - that
second time the restore is skipped
