Introduced a new max_tablet_count tablet option that caps the maximum number of tablets a table can have. This feature is designed primarily for backup and restore workflows. During backup, when load balancing is disabled for snapshot consistency, the current tablet count is recorded in the backup manifest. During restore, max_tablet_count is set to this recorded value, ensuring the restored table's tablet count never exceeds the original snapshot's tablet distribution. This guarantee enables efficient file-based SSTable streaming during restore, as each SSTable remains fully contained within a single tablet boundary. Closes scylladb/scylladb#28450
Scylla in-source tests.

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.
