[Spike] Investigate overall effort for WAL implementation
Description
Investigate effort required and implementation details for WAL encryption.
Should we go with the whole segments encryption? Or stay with the current approach (per page enc)? The former seems like a more robust and efficient solution but it requires solving a couple of issues - for one, we’d have to switch to a new wal segment whenever we change encryption setting - which potentially requires a small core change.

Decided to go with “range“ encryption when data on what’s encrypted will be stored along with the internal keys:
