before this change, we look up for the mode using the command line
option as the key, but that's incorrect if the command line option does
not match with any of the known names. in that case, `test_mode` just
create another pair of <sstring, test_modes>, and return the second
component of this pair. and the second component is not what we expect.
we should have thrown an exception.
in this change
* the test_mode map is marked const.
* the overloads for parsing / formatting the `test_modes` type are
added, so that boost::program_options can parse and format it.
after this change, we print more user friendly error, like
```
/scylla perf-sstable --mode index-foo
error: the argument ('index-foo') for option '--mode' is invalid
Try --help.
```
instead of a bunch of output which is printed as if we passes the correct option as the argument of the `--mode` option.
---
it's an improvement of developer experience, hence no need to backport.
Closes scylladb/scylladb#20140
* github.com:scylladb/scylladb:
test/perf/perf_sstable: use switch-case when appropriate
test/perf/perf_sstables: use test_modes as the type of its option

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.
