As described in https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/8638,
we're moving away from `SimpleStrategy`, in the future
it will become deprecated.
We should remove all uses of it and replace them
with `NetworkTopologyStrategy`.
This change replaces `SimpleStrategy` with
`NetworkTopologyStrategy` in all unit tests,
or at least in the ones where it was reasonable to do so.
Some of the tests were written explicitly to test the
`SimpleStrategy` strategy, or changing the keyspace from
`SimpleStrategy` to `NetworkTopologyStrategy`.
These tests were left intact.
It's still a feature that is supported,
even if it's slowly getting deprecated.
The typical way to use `NetworkTopologyStrategy` is
to specify a replication factor for each datacenter.
This could be a bit cumbersome, we would have to fetch
the list of datacenters, set the repfactors, etc.
Luckily there is another way - we can just specify
a replication factor to use for or each existing
datacenter, like this:
```cql
CREATE KEYSPACE {} WITH REPLICATION =
{'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1};
```
This makes the change rather straightforward - just replace all
instances of `'SimpleStrategy'', with `'NetworkTopologyStrategy'`.

Closes#13990
Method reponsible for creating a token of given values is not meant to be
used with empty optionals. Thus, having requested a token of the columns
containing null values resulted with an exception being thrown. This kind
of behaviour was not compatible with the one applied in cassandra.
To fix this, before the computation of a token, it is checked whether
no null value is contained. If any value in the processed vector is null,
null value is returned.
Fixes: #10594Closes#10942
