Summary:
Previously, even when `bottommost_compression_opts`'s `enabled` flag was set, it only took effect when
`bottommost_compression` was also set to something other than `kDisableCompressionOption`.
This wasn't documented and, if we kept the old behavior, it'd make
things complicated like the migration instructions in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7619. We can
simplify the API by making `bottommost_compression_opts` always take
effect when its `enabled` flag is set.
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7631.

* The dictionary compression settings specified in `ColumnFamilyOptions::compression_opts` now additionally affect files generated by flush and compaction to non-bottommost level. Previously those settings at most affected files generated by compaction to bottommost level, depending on whether `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression_opts` overrode them. Users who relied on dictionary compression settings in `ColumnFamilyOptions::compression_opts` affecting only the bottommost level can keep the behavior by moving their dictionary settings to `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression_opts` and setting its `enabled` flag.
* When the `enabled` flag is set in `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression_opts`, those compression options now take effect regardless of the value in `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression`. Previously, those compression options only took effect when `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression != kDisableCompressionOption`. Now, they additionally take effect when `ColumnFamilyOptions::bottommost_compression == kDisableCompressionOption` (such a setting causes bottommost compression type to fall back to `ColumnFamilyOptions::compression_per_level` if configured, and otherwise fall back to `ColumnFamilyOptions::compression`).
