Nadav Har'El a3959fe3db test/alternator: remove unused variable assignments
copilot noticed in that in in many of Alternator tests, we have some
unnecessary assignments. For example, in a few places, we use the idiom:

     with pytest.raises(...):
         ret = ...

The "ret=" part is unnecessary, as this test expects the statement to
fail (hence the raises()), and ret is never assigned. The assignment
was only there because we copied this statement from another place in
the test, which does expect the statement to pass and wants to validate
the returned value.

So we should just drop the "ret=" from these tests.

Another common occurance is that we used the idiom

     response = table.do_something()

Without checking the response and no intention to check it (either we
know it will work, or we just want to check it doesn't throw). So we
can drop the "response=" here too.

All of the unused variables in this patch were discovered by Copilot,
but I reviewed each of them carefully myself and prepared this patch.

Scylla in-source tests.

For details on how to run the tests, see docs/dev/testing.md

Shared C++ utils, libraries are in lib/, for Python - pylib/

alternator - Python tests which connect to a single server and use the DynamoDB API unit, boost, raft - unit tests in C++ cqlpy - Python tests which connect to a single server and use CQL topology* - tests that set up clusters and add/remove nodes cql - approval tests that use CQL and pre-recorded output rest_api - tests for Scylla REST API Port 9000 scylla-gdb - tests for scylla-gdb.py helper script nodetool - tests for C++ implementation of nodetool

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.
