value_to_json() converts CQL values to JSON for vector search filters.
For decimal and varint types, it used rjson::parse() on the JSON string,
which parses through a double and silently loses precision for values
exceeding ~15 significant digits — producing wrong filter results.
Additionally, for decimal type we need an exact string representation
that preserves the original (unscaled, scale) pair, because partition
keys use byte-level identity: different serialized representations of
the same numeric value are distinct rows, so the filter must reproduce
the exact representation stored in the key.
Add big_decimal::to_string_canonical() which follows the Java BigDecimal
toString() spec (JDK 8+), producing a bijective string representation
that uses exponential notation for extreme scales instead of expanding
trailing zeros (which could cause OOM). This could replace to_string(),
but doing so has wider consequences (e.g. hash/equality contract for
decimal_type) described in SCYLLADB-1574. Use it in value_to_json() for
decimal_type, and use rjson::from_string() for varint_type, both
bypassing the lossy double parse path.
Tests cover the new to_string_canonical() and the filter fix, as well as
existing decimal type behavior (key representation, clustering order,
toJson) that we rely on and must not break. The CQL decimal type tests
(test_type_decimal.py) also pass against Cassandra.

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.
