This pull request adds support for calculation and storing CRC32 digests for all SSTable components. This change replaces plain file_writer with crc32_digest_file_writer for all SSTable components that should be checksummed. The resulting component digests are stored in the sstable structure and later persisted to disk as part of the Scylla metadata component during writer::consume_end_of_stream. Several test cases where introduced to verify expected behaviour. Additionally, this PR adds new rewrite component mechanism for safe sstable component rewriting. Previously, rewriting an sstable component (e.g., via rewrite_statistics) created a temporary file that was renamed to the final name after sealing. This allowed crash recovery by simply removing the temporary file on startup. However, with component digests stored in scylla_metadata (#20100), replacing a component like Statistics requires atomically updating both the component and scylla_metadata with the new digest - impossible with POSIX rename. The new mechanism creates a clone sstable with a fresh generation: - Hard-links all components from the source except the component being rewritten and scylla_metadata - Copies original sstable components pointer and recognized components from the source - Invokes a modifier callback to adjust the new sstable before rewriting - Writes the modified component along with updated scylla_metadata containing the new digest - Seals the new sstable with a temporary TOC - Replaces the old sstable atomically, the same way as it is done in compaction This is built on the rewrite_sstables compaction framework to support batch operations (e.g., following incremental repair). In case of any failure durning the whole process, sstable will be automatically deleted on the node startup due to temporary toc persistence.

Scylla developer documentation
This folder contains developer-oriented documentation concerning the ScyllaDB codebase. We also have a wiki, which contains additional developer-oriented documentation. There is currently no clear definition of what goes where, so when looking for something be sure to check both.
Seastar documentation can be found here.
