When auto-detecting the schema of the sstable, if all other methods failed, load the schema from the sstable's serialization header. This schema is incomplete. It is just enough to parse and display the content of the sstable. Although parsing and displaying the content of the sstable is all scylla-sstable does, it is more future-compatible to us the full schema when possible. So the always-available but minimal schema that each sstable has on itself, is used just as a fallback. The test which tested the case when all schema load attempts fail, doesn't work now, because loading the serialization header always succeeds. So convert this test into two positive tests, testing the serialization header schema fallback instead.
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.
