cql-pytest's config_value_context is used to run a code sequence with
different ScyllaDB configuration applied for a while. When it reads
the original value (in order to restore it later), it applies
ast.literal_eval() to it. This is strange, since the config variable isn't
a Python literal.
It was added in 8c464b2ddb ("guardrails: restrict replication
strategy (RS)"). Presumably, as a workaround for #19604 - it sufficiently
massaged the input we read via SELECT to be acceptable later via UPDATE.
Now that #19604 is fixed, we can remove the call to ast.literal_eval,
but have to fix up the parameters to config_value_context to something
that will be accepted without further massaging.
This is a step towards fixing #15559, where we want to run some tests
with a boolean configuration variable changed, and literal_eval is
transforming the string representation of integers to integers and
confusing the driver.

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.
