Szymon Malewski 15493872b2 vector_search: fix decimal/varint precision loss in filter value_to_json()
value_to_json() converts CQL values to JSON for vector search filters.
For decimal and varint types, it used rjson::parse() on the JSON string,
which parses through a double and silently loses precision for values
exceeding ~15 significant digits — producing wrong filter results.

Additionally, for decimal type we need an exact string representation
that preserves the original (unscaled, scale) pair, because partition
keys use byte-level identity: different serialized representations of
the same numeric value are distinct rows, so the filter must reproduce
the exact representation stored in the key.

Add big_decimal::to_string_canonical() which follows the Java BigDecimal
toString() spec (JDK 8+), producing a bijective string representation
that uses exponential notation for extreme scales instead of expanding
trailing zeros (which could cause OOM). This could replace to_string(),
but doing so has wider consequences (e.g. hash/equality contract for
decimal_type) described in SCYLLADB-1574. Use it in value_to_json() for
decimal_type, and use rjson::from_string() for varint_type, both
bypassing the lossy double parse path.

Tests cover the new to_string_canonical() and the filter fix, as well as
existing decimal type behavior (key representation, clustering order,
toJson) that we rely on and must not break. The CQL decimal type tests
(test_type_decimal.py) also pass against Cassandra.

All tests in this directory and its subdirectories were translated from
Apache Cassandra's unit tests - the test/unit/org/apache/cassandra/cql3
directory in the Apache Cassandra source code repository.

The organization of this directory mirrors that of the Cassandra directory,
with test files renamed from SomeThingTest.java to some_thing_test.py.

Individual files were translated in their entirety, and each individual
file includes a comment on which version of the file was translated
(Cassandra's tests continue to evolve, so we may later want to catch up
with the differences).

Please avoid adding new tests, not translated from Cassandra, in this
directory. Instead, place new tests written from scratch for Scylla,
or improved tests, in the directory above.
