This is done so that actual dropping can be an atomic step which could be composed with other schema operations, and eventually all subsystems modified via raft so that we could introduce atomic changes which span across different subsystems. We split drop_table_on_all_shards() into: - prepare_tables_metadata_change_on_all_shards() - prepare_drop_table_on_all_shards() - drop_table() - cleanup_drop_table_on_all_shards() prepare_tables_metadata_change_on_all_shards() is necessary because when applying multiple schema changes at once (e.g. drop and add tables) we need to lock only once. We add legacy_drop_table_on_all_shards() which behaves exactly like old drop_table_on_all_shards() to be compatible with code which doesn't need to play with atomicity. Usages of legacy_drop_table_on_all_shards() in schema_applier will be replaced with direct calls to split functions in the following commits - that's the place we will take advantage of drop_table not yielding (as it returns void now).
Scylla in-source tests.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
