Łukasz Paszkowski 5f6df4eb97 test/storage: Properly mount/clear volumes
Due to a missing functionality in PythonTest, `unshare` is never used
to mount volumes. As a consequence:
+ volumes are created with sudo which is undesired
+ they are not cleared automatically

Even having the missing support in place, the approach with mounting
volumes with `unshare` would not work as http server, a pool of clusters,
and scylla cluster manager are started outside of the new namespace.
Thus cluster would have no access to volumes created with `unshare`.

The new approach that works with and without dbuild and does not require
sudo, uses the following three commands to mount a volume:

truncate -s 100M /tmp/mydevice.img
mkfs.ext4 /tmp/mydevice.img
fuse2fs /tmp/mydevice.img test/

Additionally, a proper cleanup is performed, i.e. servers are stopped
gracefully and and volumes are unmounted after the tests using them are
completed.

Scylla in-source tests.

For details on how to run the tests, see docs/dev/testing.md

Shared C++ utils, libraries are in lib/, for Python - pylib/

alternator - Python tests which connect to a single server and use the DynamoDB API unit, boost, raft - unit tests in C++ cqlpy - Python tests which connect to a single server and use CQL topology* - tests that set up clusters and add/remove nodes cql - approval tests that use CQL and pre-recorded output rest_api - tests for Scylla REST API Port 9000 scylla-gdb - tests for scylla-gdb.py helper script nodetool - tests for C++ implementation of nodetool

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.
