The Alternator tests should pass on Alternator (of course), and almost always also on DynamoDB to verify that the tests themselves are correct and don't just enshrine Alternator's incorrect behavior. Although much less important, it is sometimes useful to be able to check if the test also pass on other DynamoDB clones, especially "DynamoDB Local" - Amazon's DynamoDB mock written in Java. In issue https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/7775 we noted that some of our tests don't actually pass on DynamoDB Local, for different reasons, but at the time that issue was created most of the tests did work. However, checking now on a newer version of DynamoDB Local (2.6.1), I notice that _all_ tests failed because of some silly reasons that are easy to fix - and this is what the two patches in this series fix. After these fixes, most of the Alternator tests pass on DynamoDB Local. But not all of them - #7775 is still open. No backport needed - these are just test framework improvements for developers.

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.
