The document docs/cql/cql-extensions.md documents Scylla's extension
of *synchronous* view updates, and mentioned a few cases where view
updates are synchronous even if synchronous updates are not requested
explicitly. But with tablets, these statements and examples are no
longer correct - with tablets, base and view tablets may find
themselves migrated to entirely different nodes. So in this patch
we correct the statements that are no longer accurate.
Note that after this patch we still have in this document, and in
other documents, similar promises about CQL *local secondary indexes*.
Either the documentation or the implementation needs to change in
that case too, but we'll do it in a separate patch.

Closesscylladb/scylladb#16369
This commit adds information on how to enable
object storage for a keyspace.
The "Keyspace storage options" section already
existed in the doc, but it was not valid as
the support was only added in version 5.4
The scope of this commit:
- Update the "Keyspace storage options" section.
- Add the information about object storage support
to the Data Definition> CREATE KEYSPACE section
* Marked as "Experimental".
* Excluded from the Enterprise docs with the
.. only:: opensource directive.
This commit must be backported to branch-5.4,
as support for object storage was added
in version 5.4.
Closesscylladb/scylladb#16081
The goal is to make the available defaults safe for future use, as they
are often taken from existing config files or documentation verbatim.

Previously, we rejected map subscripts that are NULL, as well as
LIKE patterns that are NULL. General SQL expression evaluation
allows NULL everywhere, and doesn't raise errors - an expression
involving NULL generally yields NULL. Change the behavior to
follow that. Since the new behavior was previously disallowed,
no one should have been relying on it and there is no compatibility
problem.
Update the tests and note it as a CQL extension.
Our handling of NULLs in expressions is different from Cassandra's,
and more uniform. For example, the filter "WHERE x = NULL" is an
error in Cassandra, but supported in Scylla. Let's explain how and why.

It was recently decided that the database should be referred to as
"ScyllaDB", not "Scylla". This patch changes existing references
in docs/cql/cql-extensions.md.

It was pointed out to me that our description of the synchronous_updates
materialized-view option does not make it clear enough what is the
default setting, or why a user might want to use this option.
This patch changes the description to (I hope) better address these
issues.
