Nadav Har'El ffcce1ffc8 test/boost: fix flaky test node_view_update_backlog
The boost test view_schema_test.cc::node_view_update_backlog can be
flaky if the test machine has a hiccup of 100ms, and this patch fixes
it:

The test is a unit test for db::view::node_update_backlog, which is
supposed to cache the backlog calculation for a given interval. The
test asks to cache the backlog for 100ms, and then without sleeping
at all tries to fetch a value again and expect the unchanged cached
value to be returned. However, if the test run experiences a context
switch of 100ms, it can fail, and it did once as reported in #27876.

The fix is to change the interval in this test from 100ms to something
much larger, like 10 seconds. We don't sleep this amount - we just need
the second fetch to happen *before* 10 seconds has passed, so there's
no harm in using a very large interval.

However, the second half of this test wants to check that after the
interval is over, we do get a new backlog calculation. So for the
second half of this test we can and should use a shorter backlog -
e.g., 10ms. We don't care if the test machine is slow or context switched,
for this half of the test we want to to sleep *more* than 10ms, and
that's easy.

The fixed test is faster than the old one (10ms instead of 100ms) and
more reliable on a shared test machine.

Fixes #27876.

Shared C++ utils, libraries are in lib/, for Python - pylib/

alternator - Python tests which connect to a single server and use the DynamoDB API unit, boost, raft - unit tests in C++ cqlpy - Python tests which connect to a single server and use CQL topology* - tests that set up clusters and add/remove nodes cql - approval tests that use CQL and pre-recorded output rest_api - tests for Scylla REST API Port 9000 scylla-gdb - tests for scylla-gdb.py helper script nodetool - tests for C++ implementation of nodetool

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.
