The function validate_view_keyspace checks if a keyspace is eligible for having materialized views, and it is used for validation when creating a MV or a MV-based index. Previously, it was required that the rf_rack_valid_keyspaces option is set in order for tablets-based keyspaces to be considered eligible, and the RF-rack condition was enforced when the option is set. Instead of this, we change the validation to allow MVs in a keyspace if the RF-rack condition is satisfied for the keyspace - regardless of the config option. We remove the config validation for views on startup that validates the option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` is set if there are any views with tablets, since this is not required anymore. We can do this without worrying about upgrades because this change will be effective from 2025.4 where MVs with tablets are first out of experimental phase. We update the test for MV and index restrictions in tablets keyspaces according to the new requirements. * Create MV/index: previously the test checked that it's allowed only if the config option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` is set. This is changed now so it's always allowed to create MV/index if the keyspace is RF-rack-valid. Update the test to verify that we can create MV/index when the keyspace is RF-rack-valid, even if the rf_rack option is not set, and verify that it fails when the keyspace is RF-rack-invalid. * Alter: Add a new test to verify that while a keyspace has views, it can't be altered to become RF-rack-invalid.

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.
