test_dict_memory_limit trains new dictionaries and checks (via metrics) that the old dictionaries are appropriately cleaned up. The problem is that the cleanup is asynchronous (because the lifetimes are handled by foreign_ptr, which sends the destructor call to the owner shard asynchronously), so the metrics might be checked a few milliseconds before the old dictionary is cleaned up. The dict lifetimes are lazy on purpose, the right thing to do is to just let the test retry the check. Fixes scylladb/scylladb#24516 Closes scylladb/scylladb#24526

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.
