MDEV-19110: Remove Cassandra from Debian packaging
Cassandra has deprecated their Thrift interface years ago (a few months after Cassandra SE was released). The new way to access Cassandra is to use the CQL Connector, which does not use Thrift. There have been talks to make a CassandraSE V2 but no usable code have been produced. The motivation to keep CassandraSE in the MariaDB source code is to have it as an example for such future attempts. It can stay in the source code but it should be removed from packaging to avoid Debian packaging maintenance work around trying to compile it and have tests pass on new platform. If somebody wants Cassandra, they can use the 10.4 branch.
