Fix unlikely use-after-free in `encode_paging_state`. The function incorrectly assumes that current position to encode will always have data for all clustering columns the schema defines. It's possible to encounter current position having less than all columns specified, for eample in case of range tombstone. Those don't happen in Alternator tables as DynamoDB doesn't allow range deletions and clustering key might be of size at most 1. Alternator api can be used to read scylla system tables and those do have range tombstones with more than single clustering column. The fix is to stop trying to encode columns, that don't have the value - they are not needed anyway, as there's no possible position with those values (range tombstone made sure of that). Fixes #27001 Fixes #27125 Closes scylladb/scylladb#26960

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.
