We know (verified by existing tests) that null keys are not allowed -
neither as partition keys nor clustering keys.
In issue #9352 a question was raised of whether an *empty string* is
allowed as as a key on a base table (not a materialized view or index).
The following tests confirm that the current situation is as follows:
1. An empty string is perfectly legal as a clustering key.
2. An empty string is NOT ALLOWED as a partition key - the error
"Key may not be empty" is reported if this is attempted.
3. If the partition key is compound (multiple partition-key columns)
then any or all of them may be empty strings.
These tests pass the same on both Cassandra and Scylla, showing that
this bizarre (and undocumented) behavior is identical in both.

The empty-range check causes more bugs than it fixes. Replace it with
an explicit check for =NULL (see #7852).

We were silently ignoring INSERTs with NULL values for primary-key
columns, which Cassandra rejects. Fix it by rejecting any
modification_statement that would operate on empty partition or
clustering range.
This is the most direct fix, because range and slice are calculated in
one place for all modification statements. It covers not only NULL
cases, but also impossible restrictions like c>0 AND c<0.
Unfortunately, Cassandra doesn't treat all modification statements
consistently, so this fix cannot fully match its behavior. We err on
the side of tolerance, accepting some DELETE statements that Cassandra
rejects. We add a TODO for rejecting such DELETEs later.
Fixes#7852.

Issues #4476 and #8489, and also Cassandra's CASSANDRA-10715, all request
that filtering with "WHERE v=NULL" should return the rows where the column
v is unset. However, we made a deliberate decision to do something else:
That "WHERE v=NULL" should match no row. Exactly like it does in SQL.
This is what this test verifies - that "WHERE v=NULL" never matches any
row - not even rows where "v" is unset.
This test is expected to fail on Cassandra (so marked cassandra_bug),
because in Cassandra the "WHERE v=NULL" restriction is forbidden,
instead of succeeding and returning nothing.
Although we differ here from Cassandra, after a lot of deliberation we
decided that Scylla's behavior is the correct one, so this test verifies
it.

One INSERT statement was unnecessary for the test, so delete it.
Another was necessary, so explain it.

Closes#8287
This patch adds two simple tests for what happens when a user tries to
insert a row with one of the key column missing. The first tests confirms
that if the column is completely missing, we correctly print an error
(this was issue #3665, that was already marked fixed).
However, the second test demonstrates that we still have a bug when
the key column appears on the command, but with a null value.
In this case, instead of failing the insert (as Cassandra does),
we silently ignore it. This is the proper behavior for UNSET_VALUE,
but not for null. So the second test is marked xfail, and I opened
issue #7852 about it.
