Currently, we use the last row in the query result set as the position where the query is continued from on the next page. Since only live rows make it into query result set, this mandates the query to be stopped on a live row on the replica, lest any dead rows or tombstones processed after the live rows, would have to be re-processed on the next page (and the saved reader would have to be thrown away due to position mismatch). This requirement of having to stop on a live row is problematic with datasets which have lots of dead rows or tombstones, especially if these form a prefix. In the extreme case, a query can time out before it can process a single live row and the data-set becomes effectively unreadable until compaction gets rid of the tombstones.
This series prepares the way for the solution: it allows the replica to determine what position the query should continue from on the next page. This position can be that of a dead row, if the query stopped on a dead row. For now, the replica supplies the same position that would have been obtained with looking at the last row in the result set, this series merely introduces the infrastructure for transferring a position together with the query result, and it prepares the paging logic to make use of this position. If the coordinator is not prepared for the new field, it will simply fall-back to the old way of looking at the last row in the result set. As I said for now this is still the same as the content of the new field so there is no problem in mixed clusters.

Tests: manual upgrade test.
I wrote a data set with:
```
./scylla-bench -mode=write -workload=sequential -replication-factor=3 -nodes 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3 -clustering-row-count=10000 -clustering-row-size=8096 -partition-count=1000
```
This creates large, 80MB partitions, which should fill many pages if read in full. Then I started a read workload:
```
./scylla-bench -mode=read -workload=uniform -replication-factor=3 -nodes 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3 -clustering-row-count=10000 -duration=10m -rows-per-request=9000 -page-size=100
```
I confirmed that paging is happening as expected, then upgraded the nodes one-by-one to this PR (while the read-load was ongoing). I observed no read errors or any other errors in the logs.
