Pull Request Overview

This PR aims to add support for Cassandra 4.1 and 5.0 by updating the Cassandra driver version and adding integration tests for the new versions. However, there is a critical issue with the Maven group ID change that will prevent the build from working.

Key changes:

• Updates cassandra-driver-core from version 3.11.5 to 3.12.1
• Changes Maven group ID from com.datastax.cassandra to org.apache.cassandra (this is incorrect)
• Adds CI integration test workflows for Cassandra 4.1 and 5.0

@Torch3333 Can you change the title and release note as follows since we don't know if we support 4 and 5. We will decide based on bencharking results?

Add integration tests for Cassandra 4 and 5.
