Description

We got a disk read error on 1.2.13 that didn't trigger the disk failure policy, and I'm trying to hunt down why, but in doing so, I saw that there is no disk_failure_policy option for just killing the daemon.

If we ever get a corrupt sstable, we want to replace the node anyway, because some aws instance store disks just go bad.

I want to use the JVMStabilityInspector from CASSANDRA-7507 to kill so that remains standard, so I will base my patch on CASSANDRA-7507.
