Tar Remote Extensions (#4715)

Add infrastructure to dynamically load postgres extensions and shared libraries from remote extension storage.

Before postgres start downloads list of available remote extensions and libraries, and also downloads 'shared_preload_libraries'. After postgres is running, 'compute_ctl' listens for HTTP requests to load files.

Postgres has new GUC 'extension_server_port' to specify port on which 'compute_ctl' listens for requests.

When PostgreSQL requests a file, 'compute_ctl' downloads it.

See more details about feature design and remote extension storage layout in docs/rfcs/024-extension-loading.md
