All of the tests in test/alternator/test_gsi.py use strings as the GSI's keys. This tests a lot of GSI functionality, but we implicitly assumed that our implementation used an already-correct and already-tested implementation of key columns and MV, which if it works for one type, works for other types as well. This assumption will no longer hold if we reimplement GSI on a "computed column" implementation, which might run different code for different types of GSI key attributes (the supported types are "S"tring, "B"ytes, and "N"umber). So in this patch we add tests for writing and reading different types of GSI key attributes. These tests showed their importance as regression tests when the first draft of the GSI reimplementation series failed them. Signed-off-by: Nadav Har'El <nyh@scylladb.com>

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.
