test_scylla_sstable_shard_of takes lots of time preparing the keys for a
certain shard. with the debug build, it takes 3 minutes to complete the
test.
so in order to test the "shard-of" subcommand in an more efficient way,
in this change, we improve the test in two ways:
1. cache the output of 'scylla types shardof`. so we can avoid the
overhead of running a seastar application repeatly for the
same keys.
2. reduce the number of partitions from 42 to 1. as the number of
partitions in an sstable does not matter when testing the
output of "shard-of" command of a certain sstable. because,
the sstable is always generated by a certain shard.

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.
