The test case added failed sporadically on PB. This is due to the
fact that the user thread in some cases is waiting for slave IO
to stop and then check the error number. Thence, sometimes the
user thread would race for the error number with IO thread.
This post push fix addresses this by replacing the wait for slave
io to stop with a wait for slave io error (as it seems it was
added in 6.0 also after patch on which this is based was
pushed). This implied backporting wait_for_slave_io_error.inc
from 6.0 also.
The server was not cleaning the last IO error and error number when
resetting slave.
This patch addresses this issue by backporting into 5.1 part of the
patch in BUG 34654. A fix for this issue had already been pushed into
6.0 as part of the aforementioned bug, however the patch also included
some refactoring. The fix for 5.1 does not take into account the
refactoring part.
