Backport 1/1 commits from #152356 on behalf of @jbowens.


In cockroachdb/pebble#5187 we altered the default compaction picking logic that determines whether a level is elgible for a default compaction. We added a knob to allow the configuration of this value at runtime in case the change has some unforeseen impact on some workloads. This commit connects this knob to a new cluster setting. This cluster setting is just an escape hatch that we don't anticipate needing.

Epic: none
Release note: none


Release justification: add escape hatch for new compaction behavior

Thanks for opening a backport.

Before merging, please confirm that the change does not break backwards compatibility and otherwise complies with the backport policy. Include a brief release justification in the PR description explaining why the backport is appropriate. All backports must be reviewed by the TL for the owning area. While the stricter LTS policy does not yet apply, please exercise judgment and consider gating non-critical changes behind a disabled-by-default feature flag when appropriate.

It looks like your PR touches production code but doesn't add or edit any test code. Did you consider adding tests to your PR?
