The test test_tablet_alternator_lsi_consistency, checking that Alternator LSI allow strongly-consistent reads even with tablets, used a large cluster (10 nodes), to improve the chance of reaching an "unlucky" tablet placement - and even then only failed in about half the runs without the code fixed. In this patch, we rewrite the test using a much more reliable approach: We start only two nodes, and force the base's tablet onto one node, and the view's table onto the second node. This ensures with 100% certainty that the view update is remote, and the new test fails every single time before the code fix (I reverted the fix to verify) - and passes after it. The new test is not only more reliable, it's also significantly faster because it doesn't need to start a 10-node cluster. We can also remove the tag that excluded this test from debug build mode tests because the 10-node boot was too slow. Signed-off-by: Nadav Har'El <nyh@scylladb.com>

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.
