Introduced a new max_tablet_count tablet option that caps the maximum number of tablets a table can have. This feature is designed primarily for backup and restore workflows. During backup, when load balancing is disabled for snapshot consistency, the current tablet count is recorded in the backup manifest. During restore, max_tablet_count is set to this recorded value, ensuring the restored table's tablet count never exceeds the original snapshot's tablet distribution. This guarantee enables efficient file-based SSTable streaming during restore, as each SSTable remains fully contained within a single tablet boundary. Closes scylladb/scylladb#28450
