Libraries such as CassIO, LangChain, and LlamaIndex create vector indexes using Cassandra's StorageAttachedIndex (SAI) class name. This commit lets ScyllaDB accept these statements without modification. When a CREATE CUSTOM INDEX statement specifies an SAI class name on a vector column, ScyllaDB automatically rewrites it to the native vector_index implementation. Accepted class names (case-insensitive): - org.apache.cassandra.index.sai.StorageAttachedIndex - StorageAttachedIndex - sai SAI on non-vector columns is rejected with a clear error directing users to a secondary index instead. The SAI detection and rewriting logic is extracted into a dedicated static function (maybe_rewrite_sai_to_vector_index) to keep the already-long validate_while_executing method manageable. Multi-column (local index) targets and nonexistent columns are skipped with continue — the former are treated as filtering columns by vector_index::check_target(), and the latter are caught later by vector_index::validate(). Tests that exercise features common to both backends (basic creation, similarity_function, IF NOT EXISTS, bad options, etc.) now use the SAI class name with the skip_on_scylla_vnodes fixture so they run against both ScyllaDB and Cassandra. ScyllaDB-specific tests continue to use USING 'vector_index' with scylla_only.
Scylla in-source tests.

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.
