The test was flaky. The scenario looked like this:
1. Stop server 1.
2. Set its rf_rack_valid_keyspaces configuration option to true.
3. Create an RF-rack-invalid keyspace.
4. Start server 1 and expect a failure during start-up.
It was wrong. We cannot predict when the Raft mutation corresponding to
the newly created keyspace will arrive at the node or when it will be
processed. If the check of the RF-rack-valid keyspaces we perform at
start-up was done before that, it won't include the keyspace. This will
lead to a test failure.
Unfortunately, it's not feasible to perform a read barrier during
start-up. What's more, although it would help the test, it wouldn't be
useful otherwise. Because of that, we simply fix the test, at least for
now.
The new scenario looks like this:
1. Disable the rf_rack_valid_keyspaces configuration option on server 1.
2. Start the server.
3. Create an RF-rack-invalid keyspace.
4. Perform a read barrier on server 1. This will ensure that it has
observed all Raft mutations, and we won't run into the same problem.
5. Stop the node.
6. Set its rf_rack_valid_keyspaces configuration option to true.
7. Try to start the node and observe a failure.
This will make the test perform consistently.

these changes, and three times with them. I include the time results
below.

Fixes SCYLLADB-1137
Backport: The test is present on all supported branches, and so we
should backport these changes to them.

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.
