Alternator's "/localnodes" HTTP requests is supposed to return the list
of nodes in the local DC to which the user can send requests.
Before commit bac7c33313 we used the
gossiper is_alive() method to determine if a node should be returned.
That commit changed the check to is_normal() - because a node can be
alive but in non-normal (e.g., joining) state and not ready for
requests.
However, it turns out that checking is_normal() is not enough, because
if node is stopped abruptly, other nodes will still consider it "normal",
but down (this is so-called "DN" state). So we need to check **both**
is_alive() and is_normal().
This patch also adds a test reproducing this case, where a node is
shut down abruptly. Before this patch, the test failed ("/localnodes"
continued to return the dead node), and after it it passes.

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.
