The cql-pytest framework allows running tests also against Cassandra, but developers need to install Cassandra on their own because modern distributions such as Fedora no longer carry a Cassandra package. This patch adds clear and easy to follow (I think) instructions on how to download a pre-compiled Cassadra, or alternatively how to download and build Cassandra from source - and how either can be used with the test/cql-pytest/run-cassandra script.

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.
