DiskS3 Hard Links Optimal Implementation

DiskS3 hard links optimal implementation. #9760 (Pavel Kovalenko)
Improved the implementation of hard links for DiskS3 in ClickHouse to optimize performance and reliability.

Why it matters

This feature addresses limitations and inefficiencies in how hard links are handled on the DiskS3 storage backend. By optimizing the implementation, it enhances file management, reduces overhead, and improves the stability of operations involving hard links on S3 storage.

How to use it

Users benefit from this improvement automatically when using DiskS3. No additional configuration is needed to take advantage of the optimized hard links implementation.
