ScyllaDB offers the `compression` DDL property for configuring
compression per user table (compression algorithm and chunk size). If
not specified, the default compression algorithm is the LZ4Compressor
with a 4KiB chunk size (refer to the default constructor for
`compression_parameters`). The same default applies to system tables as
well.
Add a new configuration option to allow customizing the default for user
tables. Use the previously hardcoded default as the new option's default
value.
Note that the option has no effect on ALTER TABLE statements. An altered
table either inherits explicit compression options from the CQL
statement, or maintains its existing options.
