HBASE-25869 WAL value compression (#3244)

WAL storage can be expensive, especially if the cell values
represented in the edits are large, consisting of blobs or
significant lengths of text. Such WALs might need to be kept around
for a fairly long time to satisfy replication constraints on a space
limited (or space-contended) filesystem.

We have a custom dictionary compression scheme for cell metadata that
is engaged when WAL compression is enabled in site configuration.
This is fine for that application, where we can expect the universe
of values and their lengths in the custom dictionaries to be
constrained. For arbitrary cell values it is better to use one of the
available compression codecs, which are suitable for arbitrary albeit
compressible data.
