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().

With MDEV-12288 and MDEV-13536, the InnoDB purge threads will access
pages more often, causing all sorts of debug assertion failures in
the B-tree code.
Work around this problem by amending the corruption tests with
--innodb-purge-rseg-truncate-frequency=1 --skip-innodb-fast-shutdown
so that everything will be purged before the server
is restarted to deal with the corruption.
