The `DbMpoolFile::get_priority()` method returns the cache priority for the file referenced by the DbMpoolFile handle.

The `DbMpoolFile::get_priority()` method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
