This test needed a lot of data to ensure multiple pages when doing the read repair. This change two key configuration items, allowing for a drastic reduction of the data size and consequently a large reduction in run-time.
* Changes query-tombstone-page-limit 1000 -> 10. Before f068d1a6fa, reducing this to a too small value would start killing internal queries. Now, after said commit, this is no longer a concern, as this limit no longer affects unpaged queries.
* Sets (the new) query-page-size-in-bytes 1MB (default) -> 1KB.
The latter configuration is a new one, added by the first patches of this series. It allows configuring the page-size in bytes, after which pages are cut. Previously this was a hard-coded constant: 1MB. This forced any tests which wanted to check paging, with pages cut on size, to work with large datasets. This was especially pronounced in the tests fixed in this PR, because this test works with tombstones which are tiny and a lot of them were needed to trigger paging based on the size.
With this two changes, we can reduce the data size:
* total_rows: 20000 -> 100
* max_live_rows: 32 -> 8
The runtime of the test consequently drops from 62 seconds to 13.5 seconds (dev mode, on my build machine).

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.
