Hedged Requests for Remote Queries to Reduce Tail Latencies

Hedged requests for remote queries. When setting use_hedged_requests enabled (off by default), allow to establish many connections with different replicas for query. New connection is enabled in case existent connection(s) with replica(s) were not established within hedged_connection_timeout or no data was received within receive_data_timeout. Query uses the first connection which send non empty progress packet (or data packet, if allow_changing_replica_until_first_data_packet); other connections are cancelled. Queries with max_parallel_replicas > 1 are supported. #19291 (Kruglov Pavel). This allows to significantly reduce tail latencies on very large clusters.
