Add config setting wait_dictionaries_load_at_startup

Add config setting wait_dictionaries_load_at_startup. #56782 (Vitaly Baranov).
Added a new configuration setting wait_dictionaries_load_at_startup to control the loading behavior of dictionaries during ClickHouse server startup.

Why it matters

This feature allows users to decide whether ClickHouse should wait for dictionaries to be fully loaded at server startup, improving startup predictability and ensuring dictionary availability before processing queries.

How to use it

Set the configuration parameter wait_dictionaries_load_at_startup to true or false in the ClickHouse server configuration file to enable or disable waiting for dictionary load at startup.
