Summary:
RocksDB supports a two-level cache hierarchy (see https://rocksdb.org/blog/2021/05/27/rocksdb-secondary-cache.html), where items evicted from the primary cache can be spilled over to the secondary cache, or items from the secondary cache can be promoted to the primary one. We have a CacheLib-based non-volatile secondary cache implementation that can be used to improve read latencies and reduce the amount of network bandwidth when using distributed file systems. In addition, we have recently implemented a compressed secondary cache that can be used as a replacement for the OS page cache when e.g. direct I/O is used. The goals of this task are to add support for using a secondary cache with the blob cache and to measure the potential performance gains using `db_bench`.

* User can configure the new ColumnFamilyOptions `blob_cache` to enable/disable blob caching.
* Either sharing the backend cache with the block cache or using a completely separate cache is supported.
* A new abstraction interface called `BlobSource` for blob read logic gives all users access to blobs, whether they are in the blob cache, secondary cache, or (remote) storage. Blobs can be potentially read both while handling user reads (`Get`, `MultiGet`, or iterator) and during compaction (while dealing with compaction filters, Merges, or garbage collection) but eventually all blob reads go through `Version::GetBlob` or, for MultiGet, `Version::MultiGetBlob` (and then get dispatched to the interface -- `BlobSource`).
* Support using secondary cache with the blob cache. When creating a blob cache, the user can set a secondary blob cache by configuring `secondary_cache` in LRUCacheOptions.
* Add experimental tiered compaction feature `AdvancedColumnFamilyOptions::preclude_last_level_data_seconds`, which makes sure the new data inserted within preclude_last_level_data_seconds won't be placed on cold tier (the feature is not complete).
