This PR introduces a new `comparable_bytes` class to add byte-comparable format support for all the [native cql3 data types](https://opensource.docs.scylladb.com/stable/cql/types.html#native-types) except `counter` type as that is not comparable. The byte-comparable format is a pre-requisite for implementing the trie based index format for our sstables(https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19191). This implementation adheres to the byte-comparable format specification in https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/bytecomparable/ByteComparable.md Note that support for composite data types like lists, maps, and sets has not been implemented yet and will be made available in a separate PR. Refs https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19407 New feature - backport not required.

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.
