Like C, Python supports some escape sequences in strings such as the
familiar "\n" that converts to a newline character.
Originally, when backslash was used before a random character, for
example, "\.", Python used to just use these literal characters
backslash and dot, in the string - and not make a fuss about it.
This made it ok to use a string like "hi\.there" as a regular expression.
We have a few instances of this in our Python tests.
But recent releases of Python started to produce ugly warnings about
these cases. The error message looks like:
SyntaxWarning: "\." is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences
will not work in the future. Did you mean "\\."? A raw string is
also an option.
Indeed in most cases the easiest solution is to use a "raw string",
a string literal preceded with r. For example, r"hi\.there". In such
strings Python doesn't replace escape sequences like \n in the string,
and also leaves the \. unchanged for the regular expression to see.
So in this patch we use raw strings in all places in test/ where Python
warns have this problem.

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.
