storage: Optimized read mode for default data storage

A new optimized read mode has been added to the default in-memory store, where data written to the store is eagerly converted to AST values (the data format used during evaluation). This pre-converted data is faster to read, and won’t cause memory spikes during load; but comes with slower data writes (affects startup and bundle load/update time) and a larger lowest overall memory footprint for OPA. Can be enabled for `opa run`, `opa eval`, and `opa bench` by setting the `—optimize-store-for-read-speed`. See http://localhost:8888/docs/edge/policy-performance/#storage-optimization.

Implements: #4147
