Sylvain Lebresne resolved CASSANDRA-12030.
------------------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.2.8
                   2.1.16

I can buy that range tombstone are painful enough in 2.1/2.2 that it's worth alieviating some of the pain given this is pretty simple. I've run CI on the patch below to be sure, but as there doesn't seem to be new failures, committed, thanks.

> During compaction, if a table has range tombstone and a row delete with higher timestamp than range tombstone, both are written out to disk. Some problems seen because of this behavior:
> 1. The Range tombstone is expensive to maintain.
> 2. Range queries see timeouts when there are too many range tombstones present which may be masked by row tombstones.
> This can be avoided with simple optimization to not write out range tombstone if it is masked by row delete.
