This is an automated cherry-pick of #10637

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #10633, ref #10557

Problem Summary:
Currently, TiFlash Compute’s FileCache downloads data from S3 into local block storage as follows: it obtains an std::istream object via S3’s GetObject API and requests permission from the RateLimiter based on the total size of the entire S3 object before writing (implemented by #10555). Once the rate limiter approves the request, the full object is written to the local block storage in one burst.
Although this approach may keep the average write throughput below the quota threshold—making it appear compliant—the instantaneous write rate during the actual download can temporarily exceed the quota. This burstiness can trigger throttling by the underlying block storage, leading to elevated I/O latency.

What is changed and how it works?

disagg: Fine-grained rate limiting for S3 cache downloads
  * Use 128KiB buffer for S3 cache downloads and rate limiting. Avoid burst IO that cause block storage throttling

Cloud vendors usually consider 16KiB as 1 IOPS

Performance changes

image For the master branch, the write latency will increased to 21ms image After improvement by this PR, the write latency and write throughput is more smooth. Max write latency is is 10ms, most of the time is only 2ms.

the read latency is also slightly reduced

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Safer S3 download flow using temp-file-then-rename to avoid partial/corrupt files and preserve capacity accounting.
  • Improvements

    • Consolidated download streaming into a single write-limited local path, improved timing precision, INFO-level logs, and updated download metrics.
    • Added debug-mode size sanity checks and clearer segment state transitions on failure/success.
  • Tests

    • Expanded eviction and background-download tests with additional scenarios, assertions, and instrumentation.
  • Public API

    • Renamed segment completion setter and added a status getter for clearer segment state handling.
  • Chores

    • Updated .gitignore to ignore a new secret file.
