SidePlugin seamless integration

At that time, TerarkDB used TerarkZipTable through Hack DB::Open (detecting specific environment variables). For users, there is no need to modify any code, just link the dynamic library of TerarkDB and set the corresponding environment variables in the startup script. Although this method is crude, it can solve the problem.
