The goal of this patch is to fix issue #5280, a rather serious Alternator
bug, where Scylla fails to restart when an Alternator table has secondary
indexes (LSI or GSI).
Traditionally, Cassandra allows table names to contain only alphanumeric
characters and underscores. However, most of our internal implementation
doesn't actually have this restriction. So Alternator uses the characters
':' and '!' in the table names to mark global and local secondary indexes,
respectively. And this actually works. Or almost...
This patch fixes a problem of listing, during boot, the sstables stored
for tables with such non-traditional names. The sstable listing code
needlessly assumes that the *directory* name, i.e., the CF names, matches
the "\w+" regular expression. When an sstable is found in a directory not
matching such regular expression, the boot fails. But there is no real
reason to require such a strict regular expression. So this patch relaxes
this requirement, and allows Scylla to boot with Alternator's GSI and LSI
tables and their names which include the ":" and "!" characters, and in
fact any other name allowed as a directory name.
Fixes #5280.
