This will allow to trigger the read barrier directly via the API, instead of doing work-arounds (like dropping a non-existent table). The intended use-case is in the Scylla Manager, to make sure that the database schema is up to date after the data has been backed up and before attempting to backup the database schema. The database schema in particular is being backed up just on a single node, which might not yet have the schema at least as new as the data (data can be migrated to a newer schema, but not a vice-versa). The read barrier issued on the node should ensure that the node should have the schema at least as new as the data or newer. Closes #19213

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.
