New sstables for a table are created by the table::make_sstable() method. The method then calls sstables_manager::make_sstable() and passes there a path to component files which, in turn, sits on table::config. Since some time ago having an on-disk path for an sstable had become optional, as sstables could be put on S3 storage without local paths involved. In that case the aforementioned "path" is ~~ab~~used as a key in the system.sstables registry, that references a record with information used to retrieve URLs of sstables' objects.
This PR removes the "path" argument from sstables_manager::make_sstable() and its sstable_sdirectory peer. The details of sstables' location are moved onto storage_options and depend on storage type. For now in both storage types this location is still the good-old $datadir/$keyspace/$table-$uuid string. S3 storage needs to be patched more to use more elegant "location" value.
Eventually the `table::config::{datadir|all_datadirs}` will be removed, this PR is the step towards it.

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.
