In this PR a simple test for fencing is added. It exercises the data
plane, meaning if it somehow happens that the node has a stale topology
version, then requests from this node will get an error 'stale
topology'. The test just decrements the node version manually through
CQL, so it's quite artificial. To test a more real-world scenario we
need to allow the topology change fiber to sometimes skip unavailable
nodes. Now the algorithm fails and retries indefinitely in this case.
The PR also adds some logs, and removes one seemingly redundant topology
version increment, see the commit messages for details.
Closes#14901
