Allow Reuse of Shard Connections Across Clusters

Allow to reuse connections of shards among different clusters. It also avoids creating new connections when using cluster table function. #26318 (Amos Bird).
Allows reusing connections to shards across different clusters, preventing the creation of new connections when using the cluster table function.

Why it matters

This feature improves connection management efficiency by enabling connection reuse across clusters, reducing overhead and resource consumption when querying with the cluster table function.

How to use it

Users do not need to take special action; the connection reuse behavior is applied automatically when executing queries that involve the cluster table function across different clusters.
