With the recently added mv admission control, we can now test how are the view update backlogs updated and propagated without relying just on the response delays that it was causing until now. This patch adds a test for it, replicating issues scylladb/scylladb#18461 and scylladb/scylladb#18783. In the test, we start with an empty view update backlog, then perform a write to it, increasing its backlog and saving the updated backlog on coordinator, the backlog then drops back to 0, we wait 1s for the backlog to be gossiped and we perform another write which should succeed. Due to scylladb/scylladb#18461, the test would fail because in both gossip rounds before and after the write, the backlog was empty, causing the write to be blocked by admission control indefinitely. Due to scylladb/scylladb#18783, the test would fail because when the backlog drops back to 0 after the write, the change is never registered, causing all writes to be blocked as well.
Scylla in-source tests.

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.
