Botond Dénes 482ffe06fd Merge 'Improve load shedding on the replica side' from Łukasz Paszkowski
When reads arrive, they have to wait for admission on the reader
concurrency semaphore. If the node is overloaded, the reads will
be queued. They can time out while in the queue, but will not time
out once admitted.

Once the shard is sufficiently loaded, it is possible that most
queued reads will time out, because the average time it takes to
for a queued read to be admitted is around that of the timeout.

If a read times out, any work we already did, or are about to do
on it is wasted effort. Therefore, the patch tries to prevent it
by checking if an admitted read has a chance to complete in time
and abort it if not. It uses the following criteria:

if read's remaining time <= read's timeout when arrived to the semaphore * live updateable preemptive_abort_factor;
the read is rejected and the next one from the wait list is considered.

Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/14909
Fixes: SCYLLADB-353

Backport is not needed. Better to first observe its impact.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#21649

Scylla in-source tests.

For details on how to run the tests, see docs/dev/testing.md

Shared C++ utils, libraries are in lib/, for Python - pylib/

alternator - Python tests which connect to a single server and use the DynamoDB API unit, boost, raft - unit tests in C++ cqlpy - Python tests which connect to a single server and use CQL topology* - tests that set up clusters and add/remove nodes cql - approval tests that use CQL and pre-recorded output rest_api - tests for Scylla REST API Port 9000 scylla-gdb - tests for scylla-gdb.py helper script nodetool - tests for C++ implementation of nodetool

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.
