mtr: table_open_cache_basic autosized:
Lets assume that >400 are available and that
we can set the result back to the start value.
All of these system variables are autosized and can
generate MTR output differences.
Closes#1527
MDEV--15609 engines/funcs.crash_manytables_number crashes with error 24
(too many open files)
MDEV-10286 Adjustment of table_open_cache according to system limits
does not work when open-files-limit option is provided
Fixed by adjusting tc_size downwards if there is not enough file
descriptors to use.
Other changes:
- Ensure that there is 30 (was 10) extra file descriptors for other usage
- Decrease TABLE_OPEN_CACHE_MIN to 200 as it's better to have a smaller
table cache than getting error 24
- Increase minimum of max_connections and table_open_cache from 1 to 10
as 1 is not usable for any real application, only for testing.
Increase max number of possible table_open_cache instances from 512K
to 1024K. This only affects user who are trying to set the variable over
the old limit.
Delete not used test table_open_cache_instances_basic
(Need to be added back and rewritten in 10.2)
* rename all debugging related command-line options
and variables to start from "debug-", and made them all
OFF by default.
* replace "MySQL" with "MariaDB" in error messages
* "Cast ... converted ... integer to it's ... complement"
is now a note, not a warning
* @@query_cache_strip_comments now has a session scope,
not global.
