Description

In order to support writing pre-3.0 sstables, the easiest route is to port pre-3.0 BigTableWriter to LegacyLayout, so it can be easily removed when this support is removed in the next majorversion.

For simplicity, we should consider only the simple case in this ticket: no range tombstones and index sampling. We can add support to those in follow-up tickets.
