Allow ALTER ... ON CLUSTER Queries Regardless of Internal Replication Setting

Now it's allowed to execute ALTER ... ON CLUSTER queries regardless of the <internal_replication> setting in cluster config. #16075 (alesapin).
Allows execution of ALTER ... ON CLUSTER queries regardless of the <internal_replication> setting in the cluster configuration.

Why it matters

This feature removes restrictions related to the <internal_replication> setting, enabling users to perform ALTER queries across the entire cluster more flexibly. It improves administrative capabilities and simplifies schema or metadata changes in distributed setups.

How to use it

Simply execute ALTER ... ON CLUSTER queries as usual; the queries will now run regardless of the <internal_replication> setting in the cluster configuration without requiring additional configuration changes.
