Added a new layout direct that loads all data directly from the source for each query without storing or caching.

Why it matters

This feature solves the problem of data staleness and storage overhead by allowing queries to always fetch the latest data directly from the source, ensuring up-to-date results and reducing storage usage.

How to use it

Users can enable this feature by specifying the direct layout when configuring their data source or table, which instructs ClickHouse to bypass any caching or storage mechanisms and load data directly on each query.
