User Config Settings Do Not Impact MergeTree Operations on Object Storage

Settings from the user's config don't affect merges and mutations for MergeTree on top of object storage. #64456 (alesapin).
User configuration settings no longer affect merge and mutation operations for MergeTree tables when using object storage.

Why it matters

This feature ensures that merge and mutation processes on MergeTree tables stored in object storage are stable and consistent by ignoring potentially conflicting user configuration settings. It improves reliability and predictability of background operations in such environments.

How to use it

No explicit action is required from users. The change automatically isolates merge and mutation settings for MergeTree on object storage from user config settings.
