When this column and relevant SUPPORTED key were added, the
documentation was mistakenly put in the section about shard awareness
extension. This commit moves the documentation into a dedicated section.
I also expended it to describe both the new column and the new SUPPORTED
key.
Declare support for a 'CLIENT_OPTIONS' startup key.
This key is meant to be used by drivers for sending client-specific
configurations like request timeouts values, retry policy configuration, etc.
The value of this key can be any string in general (according to the CQL binary protocol),
however, it's expected to be some structured format, e.g. JSON.

Metadata id was introduced in CQLv5 to make metadata of prepared
statement consistent between driver and database. This commit introduces
a protocol extension that allows to use the same mechanism in CQLv4.
This change:
- Introduce SCYLLA_USE_METADATA_ID protocol extension for CQLv4
- Introduce METADATA_CHANGED flag in RESULT. The flag cames directly
from CQLv5 binary protocol. In CQLv4, the bit was never used, so we
assume it is safe to reuse it.
- Implement handling of metadata_id and METADATA_CHANGED in RESULT rows
- Implement returning metadata_id in RESULT prepared
- Implement reading metadata_id from EXECUTE
- Added description of SCYLLA_USE_METADATA_ID in documentation
Metadata_id is wrapped in cql_metadata_id_wrapper because we need to
distinguish the following situations:
- Metadata_id is not supported by the protocol (e.g. CQLv4 without the
extension is used)
- Metadata_id is supported by the protocol but not set - e.g. PREPARE
query is being handled: it doesn't contain metadata_id in the
request but the reply (RESULT prepared) must contain metadata_id
- Metadata_id is supported by the protocol and set, any number of
bytes >= 0 is allowed, according to the CQLv5 protocol specification

Tablets metadata is quite expensive to generate (each data_value is
an allocation), so an old driver (without support for tablets) will
generate huge amounts of such notifications. This commit adds a way
to negotiate generation of the notification: a new driver will ask
for them, and an old driver won't get them. It uses the
OPTIONS/SUPPORTED/STARTUP protocol described in native_protocol_v4.spec.

Previously, the tablet information was sent to the drivers
in two pieces within the custom_payload. We had information
about the replicas under the `tablet_replicas` key and token range
information under `token_range`. These names were quite generic
and might have caused problems for other custom_payload users.
Additionally, dividing the information into two pieces raised
the question of what to do if one key is present while the other
is missing.
This commit changes the serialization mechanism to pack all information
under one specific name, `tablets-routing-v1`.
