Problem:
=======
There are two issues that are addressed in this patch:
1) SHOW BINARY LOGS uses caching to store the binary logs that exist
in the log directory; however, if new events are written to the logs,
the caching strategy is unaware. This is okay for users, as it is
okay for SHOW to return slightly old data. The test, however, can
result in inconsistent data. It runs two connections concurrently,
where one shows the logs, and the other adds a new file. The output
of SHOW BINARY LOGS then depends on when the cache is built, with
respect to the time that the second connection rotates the logs.
2) There is a race condition between RESET MASTER and SHOW BINARY
LOGS. More specifically, where they both need the binary log lock to
begin, SHOW BINARY LOGS only needs the lock to build its cache. If
RESET MASTER is issued after SHOW BINARY LOGS has built its cache and
before it has returned the results, the presented data may be
incorrect.
Solution:
========
1) As it is okay for users to see stale data, to make the test
consistent, use DEBUG_SYNC to force the race condition (problem 2) to
make SHOW BINARY LOGS build a cache before RESET MASTER is called.
Then, use additional logic from the next part of the solution to
rebuild the cache.
2) Use an Atomic_counter to keep track of the number of times RESET
MASTER has been called. If the value of the counter changes after
building the cache, the cache should be rebuilt and the analysis
should be restarted.

Andrei Elkin: <andrei.elkin@mariadb.com>
On some systems with 10,000+ binlogs, show binary logs could block
log rotation for more than 10 seconds.
This patch fixes this by first caching all binary log names and
releases all mutexes while calculating the sizes of the binary logs.
Other things:
- Ensure that reinit_io_cache() sets end_of_file when moving to read_cache.
This ensures that external changes of the underlying file is known to
the cache.
- get_binlog_list() is made more efficent and show_binlogs() is changed
to call get_binlog_list()
