Embedded Keeper Background Start for ClickHouse Quorum Bypass

Embedded Keeper will always start in the background allowing ClickHouse to start without achieving quorum. #40991 (Antonio Andelic).
Embedded Keeper now starts always in the background, allowing ClickHouse to start immediately without waiting to achieve quorum.

Why it matters

This feature solves the problem where ClickHouse startup is delayed until the embedded Keeper achieves quorum. By starting Embedded Keeper in the background, ClickHouse can initialize faster and improve availability during startup, even if quorum is not yet reached.

How to use it

No additional configuration is required. Embedded Keeper will automatically start in the background during ClickHouse startup.
