Raphael S. Carvalho b046c5df93 replica: Fix use-after-free with concurrent schema change and sstable set update
When schema is changed, sstable set is updated according to the compaction
strategy of the new schema (no changes to set are actually made, just
the underlying set type is updated), but the problem is that it happens
without a lock, causing a use-after-free when running concurrently to
another set update.

Example:

1) A: sstable set is being updated on compaction completion
2) B: schema change updates the set (it's non deferring, so it
happens in one go) and frees the set used by A.
3) when A resumes, system will likely crash since the set is freed
already.

ASAN screams about it:
SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free sstables/sstable_set.cc ...

Fix is about deferring update of the set on schema change to compaction,
which is triggered after new schema is set. Only strategy state and
backlog tracker are updated immediately, which is fine since strategy
doesn't depend on any particular implementation of sstable set, since
patch "sstables: Implement sstable_set_impl::all_sstable_runs()".

Fixes #22040.

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.
