The test/scylla_gdb suite needs Scylla to have been built with debug symbols - which is NOT the case for the dev build. So the script test/scylla_gdb/run attempts to recognize when a developer runs it on an executable with the debug symbols missing - and prints a clear error. Unfortunately, as we noticed in #10863, and again in #23832, because wasmtime is compiled with debug symbols and linked with Scylla, build/dev/scylla "pretends" to have debug symbols, foiling the check in test/scylla_gdb/run. Reviewers rejected two solutions to this problem (pull requests #10865 and #10923), so in pull request #10937 I added a cosmetic solution just for test/scylla_gdb: in test/scylla_gdb/conftest.py we check that there are **really** debug symbols that interest us, and if not, exit immediately instead of failing each test separately. For some reason, the sys.exit() we used is no longer effective - it no longer exits pytest, so in this patch we use pytest.exit() instead. Fixes #23832 (sort of, we leave build/dev/scylla with the fake claim that it has debug symbols, but test/scylla_gdb will handle this situation more gracefully). Closes scylladb/scylladb#23834

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.
