Right now, next_token_for_shard() only allows iterating linearly in shard
order. Add the ability to select a specific shard to skip to (in case we're
only interested in a single shard), and to select larger ranges (so that
exponential increases are not implemented by iteration).
When performing a range query, we want to iterate over shards, running the
query on each shard in order until the query range is exhausted or we have
the right number of rows.
To be able to do this, introduce token_for_next_shard(), which allows us
to determine the boundary between shards.
It is a sort-of inverse to shard_of(), in that
shard_of(token_for_next_range(t)) == shard_of(t) + 1
This patch adds the from_bytes() function to the i_partitioner class,
whose purpose is parse a particular token and explicitly handle the
case when the minimum token is specified.

Cassandra 1.x clusters often use RandomPartitioner. Supporting
RandomPartitioner will allow easier migration to Scylla
Tests are added to make sure scylla generates the same token as
Cassandra does for the same partition key.
