v.21.1Improvements

Local session events in ClickHouse dictionaries no longer send to session log, resolving deadlock issue and fixing flaky test

Official CH changelog text
The local session inside a ClickHouse dictionary source won't send its events to the session log anymore. This fixes a possible deadlock (tsan alert) on shutdown. Also this PR fixes flaky test_dictionaries_dependency_xml/. #31013 (Vitaly Baranov).
Fix deadlock and flaky test in dictionary source session logging. The local session inside a ClickHouse dictionary source no longer sends events to the session log, preventing a potential deadlock during shutdown.

Why it matters

This change addresses a race condition causing a deadlock (reported via a tsan alert) during ClickHouse shutdown when the dictionary source's local session tries to send events to the session log. It also resolves instability in the test_dictionaries_dependency_xml/ test, improving reliability of ClickHouse's dictionary subsystem.
