Sasha Krassovsky 7dd58e1449 On-demand WAL download for walsender (#6872)
## Problem
There's allegedly a bug where if we connect a subscriber before WAL is
downloaded from the safekeeper, it creates an error.

## Summary of changes
Adds support for pausing safekeepers from sending WAL to computes, and
then creates a compute and attaches a subscriber while it's in this
paused state. Fails to reproduce the issue, but probably a good test to
have

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.
