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.
