Auth has been managed via Raft since Scylla 6.0. Restoring data
following the usual procedure (1) is error-prone and so a safer
method must have been designed and implemented. That's what
happens in this PR.
We want to extend `DESC SCHEMA` by auth and service levels
to provide a safe way to backup and restore those two components.
To realize that, we change the meaning of `DESC SCHEMA WITH INTERNALS`
and add a new "tier": `DESC SCHEMA WITH INTERNALS AND PASSWORDS`.
* `DESC SCHEMA` -- no change, i.e. the statement describes the current
schema items such as keyspaces, tables, views, UDTs, etc.
* `DESC SCHEMA WITH INTERNALS` -- does the same as the previous tier
and also describes auth and service levels. No information about
passwords is returned.
* `DESC SCHEMA WITH INTERNALS AND PASSWORDS` -- does the same
as the previous tier and also includes information about the salted
hashes corresponding to the passwords of roles.
To restore existing roles, we extend the `CREATE ROLE` statement
by allowing to use the option `WITH SALTED HASH = '[...]'`.

Implementation strategy:
* Add missing things/adjust existing ones that will be used later.
* Implement creating a role with salted hash.
* Add tests for creating a role with salted hash.
* Prepare for implementing describe functionality of auth and service levels.
* Implement describe functionality for elements of auth and service levels.
* Extend the grammar.
* Add tests for describe auth and service levels.
* Add/update documentation.

In case the link stops working, restoring a schema was realised
by managing raw files on disk.
