In one of the previous patches, we fixed scylladb/scylladb#16916 as a side effect. We removed `system_keyspace::get_cdc_generations_cleanup_candidate`, which contained the bug causing the issue. Even though we didn't have to fix this issue directly, it showed us that `test_cdc_generation_clearing` was too weak. If something went wrong during/after the only clearing, the test still could pass because the clearing was the last action in the test. In scylladb/scylladb#16916, the CDC generation publisher was stuck after the clearing because of a recurring error. The test wouldn't detect it. Therefore, we harden the test by expecting two clearings instead of one. If something goes wrong during the first clearing, there is a high chance that the second clearing will fail. The new test version wouldn't pass with the old bug in the code.

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.
