Reads which need clustering index cursor were computing column_values_fixed_lengths each time. This showed up in perf profile for a sstable-read heavy workload, and amounted to about 1%. Avoid by using cached per-sstable mapping. There is already sstable::_column_translation which can be used for this. It caches the mapping for the most recently used schema. Since the cursor uses the mapping only for primary key columns, which are stable, any schema will do, so we can use the last _column_translation. We only need to make sure that it's always armed, so sstable loading is augmented with arming with sstable's schema.

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.
