Patryk Jędrzejczak 1863386bc8 Merge '[Backport 2025.3] Raft-based recovery procedure: simplify rolling restart with recovery_leader' from Scylladb[bot]
The following steps are performed in sequence as part of the
Raft-based recovery procedure:
- set `recovery_leader` to the host ID of the recovery leader in
  `scylla.yaml` on all live nodes,
- send the `SIGHUP` signal to all Scylla processes to reload the config,
- perform a rolling restart (with the recovery leader being restarted
  first).

These steps are not intuitive and more complicated than they could be.

In this PR, we simplify these steps. From now on, we will be able to
simply set `recovery_leader` on each node just before restarting it.

Apart from making necessary changes in the code, we also update all
tests of the Raft-based recovery procedure and the user-facing
documentation.

Fixes scylladb/scylladb#25015

The Raft-based procedure was added in 2025.2. This PR makes the
procedure simpler and less error-prone, so it should be backported
to 2025.2 and 2025.3.

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.
