Before these changes, we would send mutations to the node and
immediately query the metrics to see how many hints had been written.
However, that could lead to random failures of the test: even if the
mutations have finished executing, hints are stored asynchronously, so
we don't have a guarantee they have already been processed.
To prevent such failures, we rewrite the check: we will perform multiple
checks against the metrics until we have confirmed that the hints have
indeed been written or we hit the timeout.
We're generous with the timeout: we give the test 60 seconds. That
should be enough time to avoid flakiness even on super slow machines,
and if the test does fail, we will know something is really wrong.
As a bonus, we improve the test in general too. We explicitly express
the preconditions we rely on, as well as bump the log level. If the
test fails in the future, it might be very difficult do debug it
without this additional information.
Fixes SCYLLADB-1133
Backport: The test is present on all supported branches. To avoid
running into more failures, we should backport these changes
to them.

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.
