In the DynamoDB API, when "a" is a list attribute, a[999] returns the
1000th element. But if the list isn't that long (e.g., it only has 5
elements), a[999] returns nothing - it's not an error.
But it turns out that when the index is so long that it can't even be
parsed as an integer, e.g., 99999999999999, DynamoDB does report an
error:
Invalid ProjectionExpression: List index is not within the
allowable range; index: [99999999999999]
Before this patch, Alternator also returned an error in this case,
with the right type (ValidationException), but with a strange low-level
error text:
Failed parsing ProjectionExpression 'a[99999999999999]':
std::out_of_range (stoi)
The problem was that the code (in alternator/expressions.g) ran stoi()
without converting its std::out_of_range exception to a better user-facing
message. We do this in this patch, and the error message now looks like:
Failed parsing ProjectionExpression 'a[99999999999999]':
list index out of integer range
This patch also includes a test reproducing this error, which passes
on DynamDB and on Alternator it fails before this patch and passes with
the patch.

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.
