This is yet another part in the BTI index project.
Overarching issue: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19191
Previous part: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/25626
Next parts: make `ms` the default. Then, general tweaks and improvements. Later, potentially a full `da` format implementation.
This patch series introduces a new, Scylla-only sstable format version `ms`, which is like `me`, but with the index components (Summary.db and Index.db) replaced with BTI index components (Partitions.db and Rows.db), as they are in Cassandra 5.0's `da` format version.
(Eventually we want to just implement `da`, but there are several other changes (unrelated to the index files) between `me` and `da`. By adding this `ms` as an intermediate step we can adapt the new index formats without dragging all the other changes into the mix (and raising the risk of regressions, which is already high)).
The high-level structure of the PR is:
1. Introduce new component types — `Partitions` and `Rows`.
2. Teach `class sstable` to open them when they exist.
3. Teach the sstable writer how to write index data to them.
4. Teach `class sstable` and unit tests how to deal with sstables that have no `Index` or `Summary` (but have `Partitions` and `Rows` instead).
5. Introduce the new sstable version `ms`, specify that it has `Partitions` and `Rows` instead of `Index` and `Summary`.
6. Prepare unit tests for the appearance of `ms`.
7. Enable `ms` in unit tests.
8. Make `ms` enablable via db::config (with a silent fall back to `me` until the new `MS_SSTABLE_FORMAT` cluster feature is enabled).
9. Prepare integration tests for the appearance of `ms`.
10. Enable both `ms` and `me` in tests where we want both versions to be tested.
This series doesn't make `ms` the default yet, because that requires teaching Scylla Manager and a few dtests about the new format first. It can be enabled by setting `sstable_format: ms` in the config.
Per a review request, here is an example from `perf_fast_forward`, demonstrating some motivation for a new format. (Although not the main one. The main motivations are getting rid of restrictions on the RAM:disk ratio, and index read throughput for datasets with tiny partitions). The dataset was populated with `build/release/scylla perf-fast-forward --smp=1 --sstable-format=$VERSION --data-directory=data.$VERSION --column-index-size-in-kb=1 --populate --random-seed=0`.
This test involves a partition with 1000000 clustering rows (with 32-bit keys and 100-byte values) and ~500 index blocks, and queries a few particular rows from the partition. Since the branching factor for the BIG promoted index is 2 (it's a binary search), the lookup involves ~11.2 sequential page reads per row. The BTI format has a more reasonable branching factor, so it involves ~2.3 page reads per row.

Index file size comparison for the default `perf_fast_forward` tables with `--random-seed=0`:
Large partition table (dominated by intra-partition index): 2.4 MB with `me`, 732 kB with `ms`.
For the small partitions table (dominated by inter-partition index): 11 MB with `me`, 8.4 MB with `ms`.
External tests:
I ran SCT test `longevity-mv-si-4days-streaming-test` test on 6 nodes with 30 shards each for 8 hours. No anomalies were observed.
New functionality, no backport needed.
