Calling `_next_row.get_iterator_in_latest()` is illegal when `_next_row` is not pointing at a row. In particular, the iterator returned by such call might be dangling. We have observed this to cause a use-after-free in the field, when a reverse read called `maybe_add_to_cache` after `_latest_it` was left dangling after a dead row removal in `copy_from_cache_to_buffer`. To fix this, we should ensure that we only call `_next_row.get_iterator_in_latest` is pointing at a row. Only the occurrences of this problem in `maybe_add_to_cache` are truly dangerous. As far as I can see, other occurrences can't break anything as of now. But we apply fixes to them anyway. Closes scylladb/scylladb#18046

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.
