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
In any test that uses wait_all_purged.inc, ensure that InnoDB tables
will be created without persistent statistics.
This is a follow-up to commit cd04673a17
after a similar failure was observed in the innodb_zip.blob test.
The motivation of introducing the parameter
innodb_purge_rseg_truncate_frequency in
mysql/mysql-server@28bbd66ea5 and
mysql/mysql-server@8fc2120fed
seems to have been to avoid stalls due to freeing undo log pages
or truncating undo log tablespaces. In MariaDB Server,
innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON should be a much lighter operation
than in MySQL, because it will not involve any log checkpoint.
Another source of performance stalls should be
trx_purge_truncate_rseg_history(), which is shrinking the history list
by freeing the undo log pages whose undo records have been purged.
To alleviate that, we will introduce a purge_truncation_task that will
offload this from the purge_coordinator_task. In that way, the next
innodb_purge_batch_size pages may be parsed and purged while the pages
from the previous batch are being freed and the history list being shrunk.
The processing of innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON will still remain the
responsibility of the purge_coordinator_task.
purge_coordinator_state::count: Remove. We will ignore
innodb_purge_rseg_truncate_frequency, and act as if it had been
set to 1 (the maximum shrinking frequency).
purge_coordinator_state::do_purge(): Invoke an asynchronous task
purge_truncation_callback() to free the undo log pages.
purge_sys_t::iterator::free_history(): Free those undo log pages
that have been processed. This used to be a part of
trx_purge_truncate_history().
purge_sys_t::clone_end_view(): Take a new value of purge_sys.head
as a parameter, so that it will be updated while holding exclusive
purge_sys.latch. This is needed for race-free access to the field
in purge_truncation_callback().

Fix and enable some of the tests; some remain disabled.
The tests innodb_gis.rtree_old and innodb_gis.row_format
duplicated some versions of the test main.gis-rtree.
Instead of duplicating, source that test, in a new test
innodb_gis.innodb_gis_rtree.
Introduce innodb_row_format.combinations. Due to this,
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED will not be covered in some tests
where it is covered in MySQL 5.7.
