Revision auto compaction should have configurable timer instead of fixed 5 minute timer

[jrcichra]

What would you like to be added?

Today the revision auto compaction has a constant 5 minute compaction. Change this to be a command-line / environment variable configurable option.

Why is this needed?

With enough key revisions per second, the constant 5 minute interval on revision compaction isn't fast enough to keep up with growth. Consider making the interval configurable, which will override the default behavior of 5 minutes.

Hey @parthlaw , I have an implementation here I made along with the issue: https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/18472. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the update @jrcichra . I am looking into the implementation. This is a great learning opportunity for me—Thanks for the guidance!
