Task:
=====
Update tests to reflect MDEV-20122, deprecation of master_use_gtid=current_pos.
Change Master (CM) statements were either removed or modified with
current_pos --> slave_pos based on original intention of the test.

New Feature:
========
This feature adds a safe replacement to the
MASTER_USE_GTID=Current_Pos option for CHANGE MASTER TO as
MASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE=<bool>. The use case of Current_Pos is to
transition a master to become a slave; however, can break
replication state if the slave executes local transactions due to
actively updating gtid_current_pos with gtid_binlog_pos and
gtid_slave_pos.
MASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE changes this use case by forcing users to set
Using_Gtid=Slave_Pos and merging gtid_binlog_pos into gtid_slave_pos
once at CHANGE MASTER TO time. Note that if gtid_slave_pos is more
recent than gtid_binlog_pos (as in the case of chain replication),
the replication state should be preserved.
Additionally, deprecate the `Current_Pos` option of MASTER_USE_GTID
to suggest the safe alternative option MASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE=TRUE.

There was some old code that cleared the position in CHANGE MASTER,
it was forgotten to be removed.
In addition, add code that saves/restores the old-style position
when we nuke the old relay logs as part of GTID slave start.
Normally we will not use these, but it could be useful in case
the GTID connect fails and user wants to go back to the old-style
coordinates.
Fix problems related to reconnect. When we need to reconnect (ie. explict
stop/start of just the IO thread by user, or automatic reconnect due to
loosing network connection with the master), it is a bit complex to correctly
resume at the right point without causing duplicate or missing events in the
relay log. The previous code had multiple problems in this regard.
With this patch, the problem is solved as follows. The IO thread keeps track
(in memory) of which GTID was last queued to the relay log. If it needs to
reconnect, it resumes at that GTID position. It also counts number of events
received within the last, possibly partial, event group, and skips the same
number of events after a reconnect, so that events already enqueued before the
reconnect are not duplicated.
(There is no need to keep any persistent state; whenever we restart slave
threads after both of them being stopped (such as after server restart), we
erase the relay logs and start over from the last GTID applied by SQL thread.
But while the SQL thread is running, this patch is needed to get correct relay
log).
