We recently added a "--release <version>" option to test/cql-pytest/run to run a cql-pytest test against a released version of Scylla, downloaded automatically from ScyllaDB's precompiled binary repository. This patch adds the same capability also to test/alternator/run - allowing to run a current test/alternator test on older releases of Scylla. The implementation in this patch reuses the same implementation from the cql-pytest patch. Here is an example use case: the pull request #19941 claimed that a certain bug fix was backported to release 6.0. Was it? Let's run the test reproducing that bug on two releases: test/alternator/run --release 6.0 test_streams.py::test_stream_list_tables test/alternator/run --release 6.1 test_streams.py::test_stream_list_tables It shows that the test passes on 6.1 (so the bug is fixed there) but the test fails 6.0. It turns out that although the fix was backported to branch-6.0, this happened shortly after 6.0.4 was released and no later 6.0 minor release came afterwards! So the bug wasn't actually fixed on any official release of 6.0. Signed-off-by: Nadav Har'El <nyh@scylladb.com> Closes scylladb/scylladb#21343

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.
