Patryk Jędrzejczak e11450ccca test: test_raft_recovery_user_data: prevent repeated ALTER KEYSPACE request
The test is currently flaky. With `remove_dead_nodes_with == "remove"`,
it sends several ALTER KEYSPACE requests. The request performed just
after adding 3 new nodes can unexpectedly be sent twice to two
different nodes by the driver. The second receiver rejects the request
through the new guardrail added in 2e7ba1f8ce,
and the test fails.

This has been acknowledged as a bug in the Python driver. It shouldn't
retry non-idempotent requests with the default retry policy. There could
be one more bug in the driver, as it looks like the driver decides to
resend the request after it disconnects from the first receiver. The
first receiver has just bootstrapped, so the driver shouldn't disconnect.

We deflake the test by reconnecting the driver before performing the
problematic ALTER KEYSPACE request.

The change has been tested in byo, as the failure reproduces only in CI.
Without the change, the test fails once in ~250 runs in dev mode. With
the change, more than 1000 runs passed.

Fixes #27862

No backport needed as 2e7ba1f8ce is only
in master.

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.
