Łukasz Paszkowski 883e3e014a compaction_manager: fix maybe_wait_for_sstable_count_reduction() hanging forever
The futurization refactoring in 9d3755f276 ("replica: Futurize
retrieval of sstable sets in compaction_group_view") changed
maybe_wait_for_sstable_count_reduction() from a single predicated
wait:
```
    co_await cstate.compaction_done.wait([..] {
        return num_runs_for_compaction() <= threshold
            || !can_perform_regular_compaction(t);
    });
```
to a while loop with a predicated wait:
```
    while (can_perform_regular_compaction(t)
           && co_await num_runs_for_compaction() > threshold) {
        co_await cstate.compaction_done.wait([this, &t] {
            return !can_perform_regular_compaction(t);
        });
    }
```

This was necessary because num_runs_for_compaction() became a
coroutine (returns future<size_t>) and can no longer be called
inside a condition_variable predicate (which must be synchronous).

However, the inner wait's predicate — !can_perform_regular_compaction(t)
— only returns true when compaction is disabled or the table is being
removed. During normal operation, every signal() from compaction_done
wakes the waiter, the predicate returns false, and the waiter
immediately goes back to sleep without ever re-checking the outer
while loop's num_runs_for_compaction() condition.

This causes memtable flushes to hang forever in
maybe_wait_for_sstable_count_reduction() whenever the sstable run
count exceeds the threshold, because completed compactions signal
compaction_done but the signal is swallowed by the predicate.

Fix by replacing the predicated wait with a bare wait(), so that
any signal (including from completed compactions) causes the outer
while loop to re-evaluate num_runs_for_compaction().

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.
