As it turns out, each sstable carries its own schema in its serialization header (Statistics component). This schema is incomplete -- the names of the key columns are not stored, just their type. Static and regular columns do have names and types stored however. This bare-bones schema is enough to parse and display the content of the sstable. Another thing missing is schema options (the stuff after the `WITH` keyword, except the clustering order). The only options stored are the compression options (in the CompressionInfo component), this is actually needed to read the Data component. This series adds a new method to `tools/schema_loader.cc` to extract the schema stored in the sstable itself. This new schema load method is used as the last fall-back for obtaining the schema, in case scylla-sstable is trying to autodetect the schema of the sstable. Although, right now this bare-bones schema is enough for everything scylla-sstable does, it is more future proof to stick to the "full" schema if possible, so this new method is the last resort for now.

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.
