Remove one of the major sources of race condiitons in mariadb-test.
Normally, mariadb_close() sends COM_QUIT to the server and immediately
disconnects. In mariadb-test it means the test can switch to another
connection and sends queries to the server before the server even
started parsing the COM_QUIT packet and these queries can see the
connection as fully active, as it didn't reach dispatch_command yet.
This is a major source of instability in tests and many - but not all,
still less than a half - tests employ workarounds. The correct one
is a pair count_sessions.inc/wait_until_count_sessions.inc.
Also very popular was wait_until_disconnected.inc, which was completely
useless, because it verifies that the connection is closed, and after
disconnect it always is, it didn't verify whether the server processed
COM_QUIT. Sadly the placebo was as widely used as the real thing.
Let's fix this by making mariadb-test `disconnect` command _to wait_ for
the server to confirm. This makes almost all workarounds redundant.
In some cases count_sessions.inc/wait_until_count_sessions.inc is still
needed, though, as only `disconnect` command is changed:
* after external tools, like `exec $MYSQL`
* after failed `connect` command
* replication, after `STOP SLAVE`
* Federated/CONNECT/SPIDER/etc after `DROP TABLE`
and also in some XA tests, because an XA transaction is dissociated from
the THD very late, after the server has closed the client connection.
Collateral cleanups: fix comments, remove some redundant statements:
* DROP IF EXISTS if nothing is known to exist
* DROP table/view before DROP DATABASE
* REVOKE privileges before DROP USER
etc
The main purpose of this allow one to use the --read-only
option to ensure that no one can issue a query that can
block replication.
The --read-only option can now take 4 different values:
0 No read only (as before).
1 Blocks changes for users without the 'READ ONLY ADMIN'
privilege (as before).
2 Blocks in addition LOCK TABLES and SELECT IN SHARE MODE
for not 'READ ONLY ADMIN' users.
3 Blocks in addition 'READ_ONLY_ADMIN' users for all the
previous statements.
read_only is changed to an enum and one can use the following
names for the lock levels:
OFF, ON, NO_LOCK, NO_LOCK_NO_ADMIN
Too keep things compatible with older versions config files, one can
still use values FALSE and TRUE, which are mapped to OFF and ON.
The main visible changes are:
- 'show variables like "read_only"' now returns a string
instead of a number.
- Error messages related to read_only violations now contains
the current value off readonly.
Other things:
- is_read_only_ctx() renamed to check_read_only_with_error()
- Moved TL_READ_SKIP_LOCKED to it's logical place

Before this fix, the performance schema tables were defined in UPPERCASE.
This was incompatible with the lowercase_table_names option, and caused
issues with the install / upgrade process, when changing the lower case
table names setting *after* the install or upgrade.
With this fix, all performance schema tables are exposed with lowercase names.
As a result, the name of the performance schema table is always lowercase,
no matter how / if / when the lowercase_table_names setting if changed.
