Allow Declaration of S3 Disk at Bucket Root

Official CH changelog text
Allow to declare S3 disk at root of bucket (S3 virtual filesystem is an experimental feature under development). #24898 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Allows declaring an S3 disk at the root of an S3 bucket using the experimental S3 virtual filesystem feature.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to configure an S3 disk that maps directly to the root of an S3 bucket, simplifying storage management by treating the bucket as a local filesystem. It enhances integration with S3 storage by allowing more straightforward and flexible data access within ClickHouse.

How to use it

Users can enable this feature by configuring an S3 disk in their ClickHouse configuration file, specifying the bucket root path as the disk location. Note that the S3 virtual filesystem feature is experimental and should be enabled accordingly.
