The option is a knob that allows to reject dictionary-aware compressors
in the validation stage of CREATE/ALTER statements, and in the
validation of `sstable_compression_user_table_options`. It was
introduced in 7d26d3c7cb to allow the admins of Scylla Cloud to
selectively enable it in certain clusters. For more details, check:
https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-enterprise/issues/5435
As of this series, we want to start offering dictionary compression as
the default option in all clusters, i.e., treat it as a generally
available feature. This makes the knob redundant.
Additionally, making dictionary compression the default choice in
`sstable_compression_user_table_options` creates an awkward dependency
with the knob (disabling the knob should cause
`sstable_compression_user_table_options` to fall back to a non-dict
compressor as default). That may not be very clear to the end user.
For these reasons, mark the option as "Deprecated", remove all relevant
tests, and adjust the business logic as if dictionary compression is
always available.

`compression_parameters` provides two levels of validation:
* syntactic checks - implemented in the constructor
* semantic checks - implemented by `compression_parameters::validate()`
The former are applied implicitly when parsing the options from the
command line or from scylla.yaml. The latter are currently not applied,
but they should.
In lack of a better place, apply them in main, right after joining the
cluster, to make sure that the cluster features have been negotiated.
The feature needed here is the `SSTABLE_COMPRESSION_DICTS`. Validation
will fail if the feature is disabled and a dictionary compression
algorithm has been selected.
Also, mark `validate()` as const so that it can be called from a config
object.

SSTable compression is currently configurable only per table, via the
`compression` property in CREATE/ALTER TABLE statements. This is
represented internally via the `compression_parameters` class. We plan
to offer the same options via the configuration as well, to make the
default compression method for user tables configurable.
This patch prepares the ground by making the `compression_parameters`
usable as a `config_file::named_value`, namely:
* Define an extraction operator (required by `boost::program_options`
for parsing the options from command line).
* Define a formatter (required by `named_value::operator()`).
* Define a template specialization for `config_type_for` (required by
`named_value` constructor).
* Define a yaml converter (required for parsing the options from
scylla.yaml).

Fixes#22106
Moves the shared compress components to sstables, and rename to
match class type.
Adjust includes, removing redundant/unneeded ones where possible.
