As seen in #23284, when the tablet_metadata contains many tables, even empty ones, we're seeing a long queue of seastar tasks coming from the individual destruction of `tablet_map_ptr = foreign_ptr<lw_shared_ptr<const tablet_map>>`. This change improves `tablet_metadata::clear_gently` to destroy the `tablet_map_ptr` objects on their owner shard by sorting them into vectors, per- owner shard. Also, background call to clear_gently was added to `~token_metadata`, as it is destroyed arbitrarily when automatic token_metadata_ptr variables go out of scope, so that the contained tablet_metadata would be cleared gently. Finally, a unit test was added to reproduce the `Too long queue accumulated for gossip` symptom and verify that it is gone with this change. Fixes #24814 Refs #23284 This change is not marked as fixing the issue since we still need to verify that there is no impact on query performance, reactor stalls, or large allocations, with a large number of tablet-based tables. * Since the issue exists in 2025.1, requesting backport to 2025.1 and upwards - (cherry picked from commit3acca0aa63) - (cherry picked from commit493a2303da) - (cherry picked from commite0a19b981a) - (cherry picked from commit2b2cfaba6e) - (cherry picked from commit2c0bafb934) - (cherry picked from commit4a3d14a031) - (cherry picked from commit6e4803a750) Parent PR: #24618 Closes scylladb/scylladb#24863 * github.com:scylladb/scylladb: token_metadata_impl: clear_gently: release version tracker early test: cluster: test_tablets_merge: add test_tablet_split_merge_with_many_tables token_metadata: clear_and_destroy_impl when destroyed token_metadata: keep a reference to shared_token_metadata token_metadata: move make_token_metadata_ptr into shared_token_metadata class replica: database: get and expose a mutable locator::shared_token_metadata locator: tablets: tablet_metadata: clear_gently: optimize foreign ptr destruction

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.
