This PR adds the `fulltext_index` custom index class, laying the groundwork for full-text search in ScyllaDB. It focuses on the CQL-facing layer - schema validation, option parsing, and metadata - without implementing the search backend itself.
Users can now write:
```cql
CREATE CUSTOM INDEX ON t(content) USING 'fulltext_index'
WITH OPTIONS = {'analyzer': 'english', 'positions': 'false'};
```
The implementation follows the same custom index pattern established by vector search: a `custom_index` subclass registered in the factory map, with no backing materialized view. This keeps the door open for a CDC-based indexing pipeline similar to the one vector search uses.
As part of this work, the option validation helpers (`validate_enumerated_option`, `validate_positive_option`, `validate_factor_option`) were extracted from `vector_index.cc` into a shared header so both index types can reuse them. The `custom_index` base class also gained a virtual `index_type_name()` method, giving each subclass a self-describing name for error messages without hardcoding strings in shared code.
The PR is split into three commits:
1. Extract shared validation utilities and add `index_type_name()` to `custom_index`
2. Implement `fulltext_index` with column type and option validation
3. Integration tests covering creation, validation, describe, and metadata

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.
