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 test was unnecessarily depending on InnoDB purge, which can
sometimes fail to proceed.
Let us rewrite the test to use BEGIN;INSERT;ROLLBACK to cause the
immediate removal of the desired records.
The problem was that xtradb has innodb_purge_threads default 1 (plain
innodb defaults to 0).
The test sets a special debug variable and relies on it to force
purge to happen. But when using background purge threads, this does
not work, the debug code is not made to handle this, so occasionally
the test times out waiting for the purge to occur.
Fix by explicitly setting innodb_purgee_threads=0 for this test.
btr_lift_page_up() writes wrong page number (different by -1) for upper than father page.
But in almost all of the cases, the father page should be root page, no upper
pages. It is very rare path.
In addition the leaf page should not be lifted unless the father page is root.
Because the branch pages should not become the leaf pages.
