release-22.1: roachtest: use highmem instances for some tests #88553

Backport:

Release justification: deflakes tests.

Roachtest used `n1-highcpu` machines at 16 cores and beyond. However,
this causes a memory cliff, because a `n1-standard-8` machine has ~30 GB
memory (3.75 GB per core), but a `n1-highcpu-16` machine only has 14 GB
memory (0.9 GB per core).

This patch makes 16-core machines use `n1-standard` as well, with 60 GB
memory, and only switches to `n1-highcpu` at 32 cores (with 29 GB
memory).

Release note: None
This patch adds a `HighMem` cluster spec option, which will use machine
types with increased memory. There are no changes to existing machine
types.

Release note: None
The following tests have been seen to OOM occasionally. Since a root
cause fix isn't planned for the near term, this serves to deflake the
tests.

* `tpccbench/nodes=9/cpu=4/multi-region`
* `restore2TB/*`

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Patches should only be created for serious issues or test-only changes.
  • Patches should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Patches should change as little code as possible.
  • Patches should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Patches should not add new functionality.
  • Patches must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
If some of the basic criteria cannot be satisfied, ensure that the exceptional criteria are satisfied within.
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters.
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.

Add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this backport.

Some other things to consider:

  • What did we do to ensure that a user that doesn’t know & care about this backport, has no idea that it happened?
  • Will this work in a cluster of mixed patch versions? Did we test that?
  • If a user upgrades a patch version, uses this feature, and then downgrades, what happens?
