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.
