Added prefer_localhost_replica Setting for Local Replica Access

Added the prefer_localhost_replica setting for disabling the preference for a local replica and going to a local replica without inter-process interaction. #2832
Added the prefer_localhost_replica setting to disable the preference for a local replica and enable direct access to a local replica without inter-process interaction.

Why it matters

This setting addresses scenarios where users want to avoid the overhead of inter-process communication when accessing local replicas. By disabling the preference for a local replica, queries can bypass inter-process interaction, improving efficiency and reducing latency for local replica access.

How to use it

To use this feature, set the prefer_localhost_replica setting to false in your query or server configuration to disable the preference for a local replica and enable direct local replica access.
