Description

Currently, we only gossip the DC and rack of nodes if a snitch that needs that information is used. However, in the spirit of CASSANDRA-4351, it would be useful to always gossip that information as an easy way for client libraries to access it (so that they can more easily implement strategy like "connect only to node local to my DC").
