This PR ensures that CDC keeps working correctly in the recovery
mode after leaving the raft-based topology.
We update `system.cdc_local` in `topology_state_load` to ensure
a node restarting in the recovery mode sees the last CDC generation
created by the topology coordinator.
Additionally, we extend the topology recovery test to verify
that the CDC keeps working correctly during the whole recovery
process. In particular, we test that after restarting nodes in the
recovery mode, they correctly use the active CDC generation created
by the topology coordinator.

This patch fixes two bugs in `test_topology_ops`:
1. The values of `tablets_enabled` were nonempty strings, so they
always evaluated to `True` in the if statement responsible for
enabling writing workers only if tablets are disabled. Hence, the
writing workers were always disabled.
2. The `topology_experimental_raft suite` uses tablets by default,
so we need a config with empty `experimental_features` to disable
them.
Ensuring this test works with and without tablets is considered
a part of 6.0, so we should backport this patch.
Closesscylladb/scylladb#18900
If the user wants to change the default initial tablets value, it uses ALTER KEYSPACE statement. However, specifying `WITH tablets = { initial: $value }` will take no effect, because statement analyzer only applies `tablets` parameters together with the `replication` ones, so the working statement should be `WITH replication = $old_parameters AND tablets = ...` which is not very convenient.
This PR changes the analyzer so that altering `tablets` happens independently from `replication`. Test included.

Retrieval of tablet stats must be serialized with mutation to token metadata, as the former requires tablet id stability.
If tablet split is finalized while retrieving stats, the saved erm, used by all shards, can have a lower tablet count than the one in a particular shard, causing an abort as tablet map requires that any id feeded into it is lower than its current tablet count.

`test_topology_ops` is flaky, which has been uncovered by gating
in scylladb/scylladb#18707. However, debugging it is harder than it
should be because write workers can flood the logs. They may send
a lot of failed writes before the test fails. Then, the log file
can become huge, even up to 20 GB.
Fix this issue by stopping a write worker after the first error.
This test is important for 6.0, so we can backport this change.

In topology on raft, management of CDC generations is moved to the
topology coordinator. We extend the topology recovery test to verify
that the CDC keeps working correctly during the whole recovery
process. In particular, we test that after restarting nodes in the
recovery mode, they correctly use the active CDC generation created
by the topology coordinator. A node restarting in the recovery mode
should learn about the active generation from `system.cdc_local`
(or from gossip, but we don't want to rely on it). Then, it should
load its data from `system.cdc_generations_v3`.

This patch allows us to restart writing (to the same table with
CDC enabled) with a new CQL session. It is useful when we want to
continue writing after closing the first CQL session, which
happens during the `reconnect_driver` call. We must stop writing
before calling `reconnect_driver`. If a write started just before
the first CQL session was closed, it would time out on the client.
We rename `finish_and_verify` - `stop_and_verify` is a better
name after introducing `restart`.
The system-distributed-keyspace and view-update-generator often go in pair, because streaming, repair and sstables-loader (via distributed-loader) need them booth to check if sstable is staging and register it if it's such. The check is performed by messing directly with system_distributed.view_build_status table, and the registration happens via view-update-generator.
That's not nice, other services shouldn't know that view status is kept in system table. Also view-update-generator is a service to generae and push view updates, the fact that it keeps staging sstables list is the implementation detail.
This PR replaces dependencies on the mentioned pair of services with the single dependency on view-builder (repair, sstables-loader and stream-manager are enlightened) and hides the view building-vs-staging details inside the view_builder.
Along the way, some simplification of repair_writer_impl class is done.

in 4c1b6f04, we added a concept for fmt::is_formattable<>. but it
was not ncessary. the fmt::is_formattable<> trait was enough. the
reason 4c1b6f04 was actually a leftover of a bigger change which
tried to add trait for the cases where fmt::is_formattable<> was
not able to cover. but that was based on the wrong impression that
fmt::is_formattable<> should be able to work with container types
without including, for instance `fmt/ranges.h`. but in 222dbf2c,
we include `fmt/ranges.h` in tests, where the range-alike formatter
is used, that enables `fmt::is_formattable<>` to tell that container
types are formattable.
in short, 4c1b6f04 was created based on a misunderstanding, and
it was a reduced type trait, which is proved to be not necessary.
so, in this change, it is dropped. but the type constraints is
preserved to make the build failure more explicit, if the fallback
formatter does not match with the type to be formatted by Boost.test.

The modified lines of code intend to await the first appearance of a log
on one of the nodes.
But due to misplaced parentheses, instead of creating a list of log-awaiting
tasks with a list comprehension, they pass a generator expression to
asyncio.create_task().
This is nonsense, and it fails immediately with a type error.
But since they don't actually check the result of the await,
the test just assumes that the search completed successfully.
This was uncovered by an upgrade to Python 3.12, because its typing is stronger
and asyncio.create_task() screams when it's passed a regular generator.
This patch fixes the bad list comprehension, and also adds an error check
on the completed awaitables (by calling `await` on them).

If tablet split is finalized while retrieving stats, the saved erm, used by all
shards, will be invalidated. It can either cause incorrect behavior or
crash if id is not available.
It's worked by feeding local tablet map into the "coordinator"
collecting stats from all shards. We will also no longer have a snapshot
of erm shared between shards to help intra-node migration. This is
simplified by serializing token metadata changes and the retrieval of
the stats (latter should complete pretty fast, so it shouldn't block
the former for any significant time).

As part of the Alternator test suite, we check Alternator's support for
authentication. Alternator maps Scylla's existing CQL roles to AWS's
authentication:
* AWS's access_key_id <- the name of the CQL role
* AWS's secret_access_key <- the salted hash of the password of the CQL role
Before this patch, the Alternator test suite created a new role with a
preset salted hash (role "alternator", salted hash "secret_pass")
and than used that in the tests. However, with the advent of Raft-based
metadata it is wrong to write directly to the roles table, and starting
with #17952 such writes will be outright forbidden.
But we don't actually need to create a new CQL role! We already have
a perfectly good CQL role called "cassandra", and our tests already use
it. So what this patch does is to have the Alternator tests (conftest.py)
read from the roles system-table the salted hash of the "cassandra" role,
and then use that - instead of the hard-coded pair alternator/secret_pass -
in the tests.
A couple more tests assumed that the role name that was used was
"alternator", but now it was changed to "cassandra" so those tests
needed minor fixes as well.
After this patch, the Alternator tests no longer *write* to the roles
system table. Moreover, after this patch, test/alternator/run and
test/alternator/suite.yaml (used when testing with test.py) no longer
need to do extra ugly CQL setup before starting the Alternator tests.

C++ standard does not define the order in which the parameters
passed to a function are evaluated. so in theory, in
```c++
reusable_sst(sst->get_schema(), std::move(sst));
```
`std::move(sst)` could be evaluated before `sst->get_schema`.
but please note, `std::move(sst)` does not move `sst`
away, it merely cast `sst` to a rvalue reference, it is
`reusable_sst()` which *could* move `sst` away by
consuming it. so following call is much more dangerous
than the above one:
```c++
reusable_sst(sst->get_schema(), modify_sst(std::move(sst)))
```
nevertheless, this usage is still confusing. so instead
of passing a copy of `sst` to `reusable_sst`.
this change is inspired by clang-tidy, it warns like:
```
