Description

Currently the drivers recreate the CQL for the tables by putting together the system table values. This is very difficult to keep up to date and buggy enough that its only even supported in Java and Python drivers. Cassandra already has some limited output available for snapshots that we could provide in a virtual table or new query that the drivers can fetch. This can greatly reduce the complexity of drivers while also reducing bugs like ~~CASSANDRA-14822~~ as the underlying schema and properties change.
