Allowed Runtime Increase of Background Operation Threads in Config

Allowed to increase the number of threads for executing background operations (merges, mutations, moves and fetches) at runtime if they are specified at top level config. #36425 (Nikita Mikhaylov).
Enabled dynamic increase of the number of threads for background operations such as merges, mutations, moves, and fetches when they are configured at the top-level config.

Why it matters

This feature allows users to adjust the thread count for executing background tasks at runtime, providing more flexibility and control over resource allocation and performance tuning without restarting the server.

How to use it

Specify the number of threads for background operations (merges, mutations, moves, fetches) in the top-level ClickHouse configuration file. At runtime, you can increase these thread counts dynamically to optimize background process execution.
