Description

Currently, compaction happens on the same disk with suffix of `~`. Add ability for users to specify some place specific to utilize different volumes etc.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating chaindb's compaction logic and the current `~` directory handling, then trace how database paths are configured. Done means users can specify a separate compaction location, including on another volume, with coverage for the configured path.
