851 Backup Without Snapshot Creation & Deletion

[PACordonnier]

Fixes #851

Hi,

Added two flags to the "backup" command. The default behaviour of backup is unchanged : it creates a snapshot and deletes it on successful backup.

New flags:

--keep-snapshot: dont delete snapshot on successful backup.
--use-existing-snapshot: dont create a snapshot, use a previously existing one.

• Raises an error when --use-existing-snapshot is set and --backup-name is not defined.
• Raises an error when --use-existing-snapshot and snapshot cant be found.

If the feature is accepted in principle, I’m happy to explore ways to add tests. Currently the integration_steps does not manage nodetool operations needed for theses features (such as snapshot and listsnapshots).

Also I can work on adding feature to the backup-cluster. Also is more code needed for DSE environment ?

Looking forward to your thoughts—thanks for your time!
