add --dc and --rack commandline arguments to the scylla docker image, to
allow starting a node with a specified dc and rack names in a simple
way.
This is useful mostly for small examples and demonstrations of starting
multiple nodes with different racks, when we prefer not to bother with
editing configuration files. The ability to assign nodes to different
racks is especially important with RF=Rack enforcing.
The previous method to achieve this is to set the snitch to
GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and provide a configuration file in
/etc/scylla/cassandra-rackdc.properties with the name of the dc and
rack.
The new dc and rack parameters are implemented similarly by using the
snitch GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and writing the dc and rack values to
the rackdc properties file. We don't support passing the parameters
together with a different snitch, or when mounting a properties file
from the host, because we don't want to overwrite it.
Example:
docker run -d --name scylla1 scylladb/scylla --dc my_dc1 --rack my_rack1

The "--experimental" option was removed in commit f6cca741ea. Using this
deprecated option now causes Scylla to fail with the error:
```
error: the argument ('on') for option '--experimental-features' is invalid
```
So, in this change, let's update the docker entry point script to use
`--experimental-features` command line option instead. The related
document is updated accordingly.

What we have today in "docs/dev/docker-hub.md" on "aio-max-nr" dates back
to scylla commit f4412029f4 ("docs/docker-hub.md: add quickstart section
with --smp 1", 2020-09-22). Problems with the current language:
- The "65K" claim as default value on non-production systems is wrong;
"fs/aio.c" in Linux initializes "aio_max_nr" to 0x10000, which is 64K.
- The section in question uses equal signs (=) incorrectly. The intent was
probably to say "which means the same as", but that's not what equality
means.
- In the same section, the relational operator "<" is bogus. The available
AIO count must be at least as high (>=) as the requested AIO count.
- Clearer names should be used;
adjust_max_networking_aio_io_control_blocks() in "src/core/reactor.cc"
sets a great example:
- "reactor::max_aio" should be called "storage_iocbs",
- "detect_aio_poll" should be called "preempt_iocbs",
- "reactor_backend_aio::max_polls" should be called "network_iocbs".
- The specific value 10000 for the last one ("network_iocbs") is not
correct in scylla's context. It is correct as the Seastar default, but
scylla has used 50000 since commit 2cfc517874 ("main, test: adjust
number of networking iocbs", 2021-07-18).
Rewrite the section to address these problems.

thrift support was deprecated since ScyllaDB 5.2
> Thrift API - legacy ScyllaDB (and Apache Cassandra) API is
> deprecated and will be removed in followup release. Thrift has
> been disabled by default.
so let's drop it. in this change,
* thrift protocol support is dropped
* all references to thrift support in document are dropped
* the "thrift_version" column in system.local table is
preserved for backward compatibility, as we could load
from an existing system.local table which still contains
this clolumn, so we need to write this column as well.
* "/storage_service/rpc_server" is only preserved for
backward compatibility with java-based nodetool.
* `rpc_port` and `start_rpc` options are preserved, but
they are marked as "Unused". so that the new release
of scylladb can consume existing scylla.yaml configurations
which might contain these settings. by making them
deprecated, user will be able get warned, and update
their configurations before we actually remove them
in the next major release.

Separate keyspace which also behaves as system brings
little benefit while creating some compatibility problems
like schema digest mismatch during rollback. So we decided
to move auth tables into system keyspace.
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/18098Closesscylladb/scylladb#18769
This commit includes updates related to replacing system_auth with system_auth_v2.
- The keyspace name system_auth is renamed to system_auth_v2.
- The procedures are updated to account for system_auth_v2.
- No longer required system_auth RF changes are removed from procedures.
- The information is added that if the consistent topology updates feature
was not enabled upon upgrade from 5.4, there are limitations or additional
steps to do (depending on the procedure).
The files with that kind of information are to be found in _common folders
and included as needed.
- The upgrade guide has been updated to reflect system_auth_v2 and related impacts.
