Blob direct write v1: write-path blob separation with partitioned files (reduced scope) (#14535)

Summary:
This PR introduces **blob direct write v1**, a reduced-scope write-path optimization where large values (>= `min_blob_size`) are written directly to blob files during `Put()` and replaced in the memtable with compact `BlobIndex` references. This avoids holding full values in memory until flush time.

### Motivation

In the existing BlobDB architecture, values are written to the WAL and memtable in their full form and separated into blob files only at flush time. This means:
- Large values are held in memory twice (raw in memtable + blob file at flush)
- Blob I/O is serialized through a single flush thread per column family

Blob direct write addresses both: values leave the write path as small `BlobIndex` references, and multiple **partitions** (configurable via `blob_direct_write_partitions`) allow concurrent blob writes with independent locks.

### Design (v1 — single-writer, WAL-disabled, reduced scope)

The v1 design intentionally keeps scope narrow for correctness and reviewability:

- **Single writer thread assumption**: no concurrent writes to the same partition file. One logical writer serializes the batch.
- **WAL-disabled**: direct-write blob files are only registered in MANIFEST at flush time. WAL replay cannot recover unregistered blob references, so WAL is disabled for this v1.
- **Flush-on-write**: each `AddRecord` call flushes to the OS immediately.
- **FIFO generation batching**: each memtable switch creates one generation batch. Direct-write files for that memtable are sealed and registered atomically when the batch is flushed to MANIFEST.
- **Round-robin partitions**: blob writes are distributed across `blob_direct_write_partitions` files using an atomic counter.

### New components

| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| `BlobFilePartitionManager` | Owns N partition files per CF. Manages open/seal/register lifecycle tied to memtable generations. |
| `BlobWriteBatchTransformer` | A `WriteBatch::Handler` that rewrites qualifying `Put` values as `BlobIndex` entries before the batch enters the write group. |

### Write path integration

1. `DBImpl::WriteImpl` calls `BlobWriteBatchTransformer::TransformBatch` before entering the writer group (for default write path), or before joining the batch group (for pipelined/unordered write).
2. Values >= `min_blob_size` are written to a partition file; the key is stored with a `BlobIndex` in the transformed batch. A rollback guard marks blob bytes as initial garbage if the write fails.
3. On `SwitchMemtable`, `RotateCurrentGeneration` moves active partitions into the next immutable batch.
4. `FlushMemTableToOutputFile` / `AtomicFlushMemTablesToOutputFiles` call `PrepareFlushAdditions` to seal partition files and collect `BlobFileAddition` + `BlobFileGarbage` entries registered to MANIFEST alongside the flush.
5. Shutdown paths (`CancelAllBackgroundWork`, `WaitForCompact` with `close_db=true`) force-flush all CFs with active direct-write managers to ensure blob files are registered before close.

### Read path

- **Get/MultiGet**: `MaybeResolveBlobForWritePath` resolves `BlobIndex` references found in memtable or immutable memtable via `BlobFilePartitionManager::ResolveBlobDirectWriteIndex`, which first checks manifest-visible state and falls back to direct blob-file reads via `BlobFileCache`.
- **Iterator**: `DBIter::BlobReader` is extended with a `BlobFilePartitionManager*` to resolve direct-write blob indexes during iteration. The unified `ResolveBlobDirectWriteIndex` path handles both manifest-visible and not-yet-flushed files.

### New options

| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `enable_blob_direct_write` | `false` | Enable write-path blob separation for this CF. Requires `enable_blob_files = true`. Not dynamically changeable. |
| `blob_direct_write_partitions` | `1` | Number of parallel partition files per CF. Not dynamically changeable. |

### Feature incompatibilities (reduced v1 scope)

The following features are *not supported* when `enable_blob_direct_write = true`, and are enforced both in `db_stress_tool` validation and `db_crashtest.py` sanitization:

**Write model constraints:**
- `threads` must be 1 (single writer assumption)
- `allow_concurrent_memtable_write` = 0
- `enable_pipelined_write` = 0 (transformation done before batch group, but pipelined path supported with pre-transform)
- `two_write_queues` = 0
- `unordered_write` = 0 (transformation done before batch group, but unordered path supported with pre-transform)

**WAL and recovery:**
- `disable_wal` = 1 (required — WAL replay of unregistered blob files is out of v1 scope)
- `best_efforts_recovery` = 0
- `reopen` = 0 (no crash-restart with WAL replay)
- All WAL-related stress features disabled: `manual_wal_flush_one_in`, `sync_wal_one_in`, `lock_wal_one_in`, `get_sorted_wal_files_one_in`, `get_current_wal_file_one_in`, `track_and_verify_wals`, `rate_limit_auto_wal_flush`, `recycle_log_file_num`

**Blob GC and dynamic options:**
- `use_blob_db` = 0 (stacked BlobDB not supported)
- `allow_setting_blob_options_dynamically` = 0
- `enable_blob_garbage_collection` = 0
- `blob_compaction_readahead_size` = 0
- `blob_file_starting_level` = 0

**Unsupported value types and APIs:**
- Merge (`use_merge`, `use_full_merge_v1`) — merge values pass through untransformed
- Entity APIs (`use_put_entity_one_in`, `use_get_entity`, `use_multi_get_entity`, `use_attribute_group`)
- `use_timed_put_one_in`
- User-defined timestamps (`user_timestamp_size`, `persist_user_defined_timestamps`, `create_timestamped_snapshot_one_in`)
- Transactions (`use_txn`, `use_optimistic_txn`, `test_multi_ops_txns`, `commit_bypass_memtable_one_in`) — though `WriteCommittedTxn::CommitInternal` falls back from bypass-memtable to normal path when BDW is active
- `IngestWriteBatchWithIndex` returns `NotSupported`
- `inplace_update_support` = 0

**Fault injection:**
- All write/read/metadata fault injection disabled (`sync_fault_injection`, `write_fault_one_in`, `metadata_write_fault_one_in`, `read_fault_one_in`, `metadata_read_fault_one_in`, `open_*_fault_one_in`)

**Infrastructure/snapshot APIs:**
- `remote_compaction_worker_threads` = 0
- `test_secondary` = 0
- `backup_one_in` = 0
- `checkpoint_one_in` = 0
- `get_live_files_apis_one_in` = 0
- `ingest_external_file_one_in` = 0
- `ingest_wbwi_one_in` = 0

### Tests

- `db/blob/db_blob_basic_test.cc`: ~660 lines of new direct-write unit tests covering basic put/get, multi-partition, flush/compaction, recovery, and error injection.
- `db/blob/blob_file_cache_test.cc`: ~96 lines of new tests for direct-write blob file cache behavior.
- `db/write_batch_test.cc`: ~96 lines of tests for WriteBatch with blob index entries.
- `utilities/transactions/transaction_test.cc`: verifies transaction commit path falls back correctly with direct write enabled.
- `db_stress_tool/`: full stress test support with `--enable_blob_direct_write` and `--blob_direct_write_partitions` flags, integrated into `db_crashtest.py` with 10% random selection alongside regular blob params.
