To implement nodetool's "--start-token"/"--end-token" feature, we need
to be able to repair only *part* of the ranges held by this node.
Our REST API already had a "ranges" option where the tool can list the
specific ranges to repair, but using this interface in the JMX
implementation is inconvenient, because it requires the *Java* code
to be able to intersect the given start/end token range with the actual
ranges held by the repaired node.
A more reasonable approach, which this patch uses, is to add new
"startToken"/"endToken" options to the repair's REST API. What these
options do is is to find the node's token ranges as usual, and only
then *intersect* them with the user-specified token range. The JMX
implementation becomes much simpler (in a separate patch for scylla-jmx)
and the real work is done in the C++ code, where it belongs, not in
Java code.
With the additional scylla-jmx patch to use the new REST API options
provided here, this fixes#917.
