Description

For small reads and writes the overhead of using cuFile and/or KvikIO becomes significant. This PR introduces the threshold already used by the GDS to the KVIKIO backend as well.

Closes #12780

Future work

Let's optimize KvikIO for small reads and writes so we don't need this threshold.
Tracking here: rapidsai/kvikio#178

Ran benchmarks locally (no GDS support); big gains on the ORC writer side, no significant impact on the Parquet reader (I assume ORC reader would behave the same way). Performance might look different on a GDS-enabled system.
Looks like a good change to merge.

@ttnghia, thanks for the review. I have renamed _gds_io_preferred_threshold to:

_gds_read_preferred_threshold
_gds_write_preferred_threshold

Fixes #178

Adding a GDS threshold option, which is the minimum size to use GDS. In order to improve performance of small IO, `.pread()` and `.pwrite()` implements a shortcut that circumvent the threadpool and use the POSIX backend directly.

This should remove the final performance regression of the KvikIO backend observed in rapidsai/cudf#12841
