Tomasz Grabiec 2463e524ed tablets: Set default initial tablet count scale to 10
This will result in new tables having at least 10 tablet replicas per
shard by default.

We want this to reduce tablet load imbalance due to differences in
tablet count per shard, where some shards have 1 tablet and some
shards have 2 tablets. With higher tablet count per shard, this
difference-by-one is less relevant.

Fixes #21967

In some tests, we explicity set the initial scale to 1 as some of the
existing tests assume 1 compaction group per shard.

test.py uses a lower default. Having many tablets per shard slows down
certain topology operations like decommission/replace/removenode,
where the running time is proportional to tablet count, not data size,
because constant cost (latency) of migration dominates. This latency
is due to group0 operations and barriers. This is especially
pronounced in debug mode. Scheduler allows at most 2 migrations per
shard, so this latency becomes a determining factor for decommission
speed.

To avoid this problem in tests, we use lower default for tablet count per
shard, 2 in debug/dev mode and 4 in release mode. Alternatively, we
could compensate by allowing more concurrency when migrating small
tablets, but there's no infrastructure for that yet.

I observed that with 10 tablets per shard, debug-mode
topology_custom.mv/test_mv_topology_change starts to time-out during
removenode (30 s).
