In PG17, there is this newfangled custom wait events system. This commit adds that feature to Neon, so that users can see what their backends may be waiting for when a PostgreSQL backend is playing the waiting game in Neon code.
Problem
We don't have very precise insights into what the backend is doing at each point in time.
Summary of changes
Add registration & naming for custom wait events where it makes sense to have them, so that we can see what the backends are waiting for.
