The existing test
topology_experimental_raft/test_alternator::test_localnodes_joining_nodes
Tried to create a second server but *not* wait for it to complete, but
the trick it used (cancelling the task) doesn't work since commit 2ee063c
makes a list of unwaited tasks and waits for them anyway. The test
*appears* to work because it is the last test in the file, but if we
ever add another test in the same file (like I plan to do in the next
patch), that other test will find a "BROKEN" ScyllaClusterManager and
report that it failed :-(
Other tricks I tried to use (like killing the servers) also didn't work
because of various limitations and complications of the test framework
and all its layers.
So not wanting to fight the fragile testing framework any more at this
point, I just gave up and the test will *wait* for the second server
to come up. This adds 120 seconds (!) to the test, but since this whole
test file already takes more than 500 seconds to complete, let's bite
this bullet. Maybe in the future when the test framework improves, we can
avoid this 120 second wait.

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.
