Use Cluster State Data for Concurrent Backup/Restore Check

Use cluster state data to check concurrent backup/restore. #45982 (SmitaRKulkarni).
ClickHouse now uses cluster state data to check and prevent concurrent backup and restore operations.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the risk of conflicting backup and restore operations running at the same time across a cluster, which can cause data corruption or inconsistency. By leveraging cluster state data, ClickHouse ensures that only one backup or restore operation can proceed concurrently, improving data safety and operational reliability.

How to use it

Users do not need to manually enable this feature. When executing backup or restore operations in a clustered environment, ClickHouse automatically checks the cluster state to detect and block concurrent operations, ensuring safe execution.
