MDEV-26473: mysqld got exception 0xc0000005 (rpl_slave_state/rpl_load_gtid_slave_state)

Problem:
========
During mysqld initialization, if the number of GTIDs added since
that last purge of the mysql.gtid_slave_pos tables is greater than
or equal to the –-gtid-cleanup-batch-size value, a race condition
can occur. Specifically, the binlog background thread will submit
the bg_gtid_delete_pending job to the mysql handle manager; however,
the mysql handle manager may not be initialized, leading to crashes.

Solution:
========
Force the mysql handle manager to initialize/start before the binlog
background thread is created.

+#
+# Purpose:
+#   This test ensures that, during mysqld initialization, the mysql handle
+# manager starts before the binlog background thread. This is because the
+# binlog background thread uses the mysql handle manager, and if the background
+# thread tries to submit a job to the handle manager before it is
+# initialized/started, mysqld can crash (the actual behavior is undefined).
+# This race condition lead to the problem described in MDEV-26473.
+#
+# Methodology:
+#   This test ensures that the binlog background thread cannot be started
+# before the mysql manager is started. Specifically, it forces a path in
+# the binlog background thread to call mysql_manager_submit() by reducing
+# --gtid-cleanup-batch-size to be 1 (which submits a job to delete unused rows
+# from the mysql.gtid_slave_pos* tables). With this path forced, the main
+# mysqld thread is suspended just before its handle manager initialization to
+# allow time for the binlog thread to call mysql_manager_submit. The fix
+# associated with this test should enforce that the binlog background thread is
+# not created before the handle manager is initialized.
