Description

The cassandra.in.sh file was updated as part of CASSANDRA-18255 but the corresponding redhat/cassandra.in.sh was not.

This means when cassandra starts on a rpm install using jdk17 the jvm11-server.options file is still used. And so it fails.

Initial patch that works: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/cassandra-5.0...thelastpickle:cassandra:mck/redhat-jdk17-fix/5.0

Maybe it is possible to find a superior solution, like wrapping this file instead of duplicating it.
