Huge NetApp donation of hardware for ci-cassandra

Under a ASF targeted sponsorship, NetApp (Instaclustr) has been very
generous with the community and donated ten beefy (AMD EPYC 9454P Genoa
48-Core, 256G ram) servers to be used with our ci-cassandra.apache.org
infrastructure.

On each server we fit 6 jenkins executors, increasing our ci-cassandra.a.o
executor count by 42 !
(60 new, minus 18 old executors from Instaclustr now removed).

This raises our executor count from 98 to 140, and means NetApp's donation
is currently running 30% of the project's CI resources !

This is a big deal for the project, adding both stability and improved
throughput of CI for the community.

A very big thank you to NetApp, and to all our contributors employed there
to help make this happen.

As an exclusive user of ci-cassandra.a.o I'm very grateful for this
donation. 🙏

I never got circle-ci to work on my machine 🥲😉

I am thrilled to see this!

Huge thanks to INFRA team who made this possible and deployed / integrated all new machines into the existing CI infrastructure and everybody involved in this effort.

The nodes were donated under 3-years NetApp Targeted Sponsorship
