this PR is propper(pythonic) chance of commit 288a47f815
Creating an own folder used to be needed for two reasons:
we want a separate test suite, with its own settings
we want to structure tests, e.g. tablets, raft, schema, gossip.
We've been creating many folders recently. However, test suite
infrastructure is expensive in test.py - each suite has its own
pool of servers, concurrency settings and so on.
Make it possible to structure tests without too many suites,
by supporting subfolders within a suite.
As an example, this PR move mv tests into a separate folder
custom test.py lookup also works.
tests can be run as:
1. ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./test.py --no-gather-metrics --mode=dev topology_custom/mv/tablets/test_mv_tablets_empty_ip
2. ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./test.py --no-gather-metrics --mode=dev topology_custom/mv/tablets
3. ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./test.py --no-gather-metrics --mode=dev topology_custom/mv

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.
