Research direction

Start by reading the ClickHouse distributed-cluster documentation and the follow-up context in oxidecomputer/omicron#3494. Trace the existing ClickHouse distributed-query configuration and determine where a per-cluster secret belongs; done means the secret is supported and handled securely for inter-server queries.
