Research direction

The issue proposes system-deps support for the RocksDB -sys crate, using standardized environment variables for packagers. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so start by locating the crate's dependency and build configuration. Done would require an agreed design and verified support for selecting the system RocksDB dependency.
