Piotr Sarna 53bbef1e6c alternator: add a way of accessing system tables from alternator ...

Scylla's system tables often provide interesting information for
clients. In order to be able to access this information without CQL,
a notion of virtual tables is introduced to alternator.
When a table named .scylla.alternator.KS_NAME.TABLE_NAME is accessed
with read-only operation - Query or Scan, Scylla's internal
KS_NAME.TABLE_NAME table will be queried instead. For instance,
if a user wants to read about system_auth.roles, the Scan request
should target the following table: ".scylla.alternator.system_auth.roles".

Fixes #6122
