Try using scylla2

Hi,

I've quickly announced at the Scylla Summit 2023 that I wrote recently on a new Scylla Rust driver : https://github.com/wyfo/scylla2 – I explain in the README the reason and the differences.

I've especially worked on performance, and first benchmarks results are promising (CPU utilisation is reduced by 30-40%, without counting zero-copy deserialization as latte cannot support it). Of course, I've done most of them with a fork of latte. You may be interested by this new driver implementation, so here is the PR to use it.

The project is obviously still in development (I've started it 4 months ago), but it seems to work fine with Scylla and Cassandra (using protocol V5 btw). Don't hesitate to take a look at it.

Thank you, this looks interesting. Currently I don't have much spare time to work on this project, so I can't promise when that happens, but anyway wish you best luck. Good to have more drivers to chose from. Any chance to support DataStax Astra, btw? That's the biggest feature latte is missing now.

There is no point in keeping this PR open. I'm not planning to switch the driver now, as the Scylla one is well supported and fully open-source. Please contribute improvements to the original scylla driver.
