Allow "local" as Object Storage Type Instead of "local_blob_storage"

Allow "local" as object storage type instead of "local_blob_storage". #60165 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Allow specifying "local" as an alias for the "local_blob_storage" object storage type in ClickHouse configuration.

Why it matters

This feature simplifies configuration by enabling users to use the shorter, more intuitive alias "local" instead of the full "local_blob_storage" name, reducing potential confusion and improving usability when setting up object storage.

How to use it

In your storage configuration, replace or use "local" as the object storage type instead of "local_blob_storage". For example:

WITH object_storage('local') AS storage
SELECT ... FROM storage.table


This change allows both "local" and "local_blob_storage" as valid identifiers for local object storage.
