Nadav Har'El ca037dd072 alternator: fix bug in combination of AttributeUpdates + ReturnValues
In test/alternator/test_returnvalues.py we had tests for the
ReturnValues feature on UpdateItem requests - but we only tested
UpdateItem requests with the "modern" UpdateExpression, and forgot to
test the combination of ReturnValues with the old AttributeUpdates API.

It turns out this combination is buggy: when both ReturnValues=ALL_OLD
and AttributeUpdates need the previous value of the item, we may wrongly
std::move() the value out, and the operation will fail with a strange
error:

    An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the UpdateItem
    operation: JSON assert failed on condition 'IsObject()'

The fix in this patch is trivial - just move the std::move() to the
correct place, after both UpdateExpression and AttributeUpdates
handling is done.

This patch also includes a reproducing test, which fails before this
patch and passes with it - and of course passes on DynamoDB. This
test reproduces two cases where the bug happened, as well as one
case where it didn't (to make sure we don't regress in what already
worked).

Fixes #25894

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.
