Pavel Emelyanov 9d997458d7 Merge 'Alternator: allow warning on auth errors before enabling enforcement' from Nadav Har'El
An Alternator user was recently "bit" when switching `alternator_enforce_authorization` from "false" to "true": ְְְAfter the configuration change, all application requests suddenly failed because unbeknownst to the user, their application used incorrect secret keys.

This series introduces a solution for users who want to **safely** switch `alternator_enforce_authorization`  from "false" to "true": Before switching from "false" to "true", the user can temporarily switch a new option, `alternator_warn_authorization`, to true. In this "warn" mode, authentication and authorization errors are counted in metrics (`scylla_alternator_authentication_failures` and `scylla_alternator_authorization_failures`) and logged as WARNings, but the user's application continues to work. The user can use these metrics or log messages to learn of errors in their application's setup, fix them, and only do the switch of `alternator_enforce_authorization` when the metrics or log messages show there are no more errors.

The first patch is the implementation of the the feature - the new configuration option, the metrics and the log messages,  the second patch is a test for the new feature, and the third patch is documentation recommending how to use the warn mode and the associated metrics or log messages to safely switch `alternaor_enforce_authorization` from false to true.

Fixes #25308

This is a feature that users need, so it should probably be backported to live branches.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#25457

* github.com:scylladb/scylladb:
  docs/alternator: explain alternator_warn_authorization
  test/alternator: tests for new auth failure metrics and log messages
  alternator: add alternator_warn_authorization config

(cherry picked from commit 59019bc9a9)

Closes scylladb/scylladb#26894
