Allow UUID in replica_path for explicit CREATE TABLE statements

Allow uuid in replica_path if CREATE TABLE explicitly has it. #59908 (Azat Khuzhin).
Allow UUID in replica_path when provided explicitly in CREATE TABLE.

Why it matters

This feature enables specifying a replica UUID in the replica_path for replicated tables when explicitly included in the CREATE TABLE statement. It solves issues related to replica identification and path conflicts, improving replica management and consistency in replicated environments.

How to use it

To use this feature, explicitly include the UUID in the replica_path parameter within the CREATE TABLE statement for replicated tables. This allows ClickHouse to recognize and use the specified UUID when setting up replicas.
