---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just pushed a work-in-progress-branch with a bunch of updates: https://github.com/krummas/cassandra/tree/marcuse/5351 

* It locks the sstables for the whole duration of the repair, might be better to do a best-effort here, ie, remember what sstables we calculated merkle trees on and then if the sstable is gone during anticompaction, we dont mark that data as repaired - we will catch it next repair round instead.
* Adds a test for anticompaction
* For LCS, we always first check if there are STCS-compactions to do on the unrepaired data, reasoning being that new data is unrepaired, so if you have flushed 4 sstables, there will be a stcs compaction.
* For STCS, we just pick the one with the most sstables, probably not the best way, but we can tweak that heuristic later.

[~lyubent] - I think the bug you had above was because you didn't check if markCompacting was successful or not in AnticompactionSession.lockTables()

It "works" but atleast these things are needed;
* Fix streaming, keep the repairedAt times etc.
* Make full repairs work somehow (anticompacting the whole dataset is probably not preferable)
* Timeouts, if we lock all unrepaired sstables, we must handle stalled repairs somehow.
* Make anticompaction smarter, if we have 10 sstables that we should anticompact, why not combine anticompaction with compaction and create 2 new sstables, one with repaired data and one with unrepaired
* More tests, cleanups, refactor

> Repair has always built its merkle tree from all the data in a columnfamily, which is guaranteed to work but is inefficient.
> We can improve this by remembering which sstables have already been successfully repaired, and only repairing sstables new since the last repair.  (This automatically makes CASSANDRA-3362 much less of a problem too.)
> The tricky part is, compaction will (if not taught otherwise) mix repaired data together with non-repaired.  So we should segregate unrepaired sstables from the repaired ones.
