Tomasz Grabiec fa1b97f0c5 Merge '[Backport 2025.2] Improve background disposal of tablet_metadata' from Scylladb[bot]
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

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.
