This is the second half of the fix for issue #13968. The first half is already merged with PR #18346 Scylla issues warnings for partitions containing more rows than a configured threshold. The warning is issued by inserting a row into the `system.large_partitions` table. This row contains the information about the partition for which the warning is issued: keyspace, table, sstable, partition key and size, compaction time and the number of rows in the partition. A previous PR #18346 also added range tombstone count to this row. This change adds a new counter for dead rows to the large_partitions table. This change also adds cluster feature protection for writing into these new counters. This is needed in case a cluster is in the process of being upgraded to this new version, after which an upgraded node writes data with the new schema into `system.large_partitions`, and finally a node is then rolled back to an old version. This node will then revert the schema to the old version, but the written sstables will still contain data with the new counters, causing any readers of this table to throw errors when they encounter these cells. This is an enhancement, and backporting is not needed.

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.
