Alternator has a custom TTL implementation. This is based on a loop, which scans existing rows in the table, then decides whether each row have reached its end-of-life and deletes it if it did. This work is done in the background, and therefore it uses the maintenance (streaming) scheduling group. However, it was observed that part of this work leaks into the statement scheduling group, competing with user workloads, negatively affecting its latencies. This was found to be causes by the reads and writes done on behalf of the alternator TTL, which looses its maintenance scheduling group when these have to go to a remote node. This is because the messaging service was not configured to recognize the streaming scheduling group, when statement verbs like read or writes are invoked. The messaging service currently recognizes two statement "tenants": the user tenant (statement scheduling group) and system (default scheduling group), as we used to have only user-initiated operations and sytsem (internal) ones. With alternator TTL, there is now a need to distinguish between two kinds of system operation: foreground and background ones. The former should use the system tenant while the latter will use the new maintenance tenant (streaming scheduling group). This series adds a streaming tenant to the messaging service configuration and it adds a test which confirms that with this change, alternator TTL is entirely contained in the maintenance scheduling group. Fixes: #18719 - [x] Scans executed on behalf of alternator TTL are running in the statement group, disturbing user-workloads, this PR has to be backported to fix this.

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.
