Our documentation states that writing an item with "USING TTL 0" means it
should never expire. This should be true even if the table has a default
TTL. But Scylla mistakenly handled "USING TTL 0" exactly like having no
USING TTL at all (i.e., it took the default TTL, instead of unlimited).
We had two xfailing tests demonstrating that Scylla's behavior in this
is different from Cassandra. Scylla's behavior in this case was also
undocumented.
By the way, Cassandra used to have the same bug (CASSANDRA-11207) but
it was fixed already in 2016 (Cassandra 3.6).
So in this patch we fix Scylla's "USING TTL 0" behavior to match the
documentation and Cassandra's behavior since 2016. One xfailing test
starts to pass and the second test passes this bug and fails on a
different one. This patch also adds a third test for "USING TTL ?"
with UNSET_VALUE - it behaves, on both Scylla and Cassandra, like a
missing "USING TTL".
The origin of this bug was that after parsing the statement, we saved
the USING TTL in an integer, and used 0 for the case of no USING TTL
given. This meant that we couldn't tell if we have USING TTL 0 or
no USING TTL at all. This patch uses an std::optional so we can tell
the case of a missing USING TTL from the case of USING TTL 0.

Some of the tests in test/cql-pytest share the same table but use
different keys to ensure they don't collide. Before this patch we used a
random key, which was usually fine, but we recently noticed that the
pytest-randomly plugin may cause different tests to run through the *same*
sequence of random numbers and ruin our intent that different tests use
different keys.
So instead of using a *random* key, let's use a *unique* key. We can
achieve this uniqueness trivially - using a counter variable - because
anyway the uniqueness is only needed inside a single temporary table -
which is different in every run.
Another benefit is that it will now be clearer that the tests are
deterministic and not random - the intent of a random_string() key
was never to randomly walk the entire key space (random_string()
anyway had a pretty narrow idea of what a random string looks like) -
it was just to get a unique key.

Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
This patch adds a new cql-pytest test file - test_ttl.py - with
currently just a couple of tests for the "with default_time_to_live"
feature. One is a basic test, and second reproduces issue #9842 -
that "using ttl 0" should override the default time to live, but
doesn't.
The test for #9842, test_default_ttl_0_override, fails on Scylla and
passes on Cassandra, and is marked "xfail".
Refs #9842.
