tests: use tablets-disabled keyspace instead of xfail for scylladb/scylladb#22677

Tests that previously xfailed on ScyllaDB < 2026.1 due to MVs, secondary
indexes, and counters not being supported on tables with tablets now create
their keyspace with 'AND tablets = {"enabled": false}' for those older
versions, so the tests run and pass rather than being expected to fail.

A new helper get_tablets_disabled_ddl_suffix() is added to
tests/integration/__init__.py to return the appropriate DDL suffix.
