A few tests assumes that the CYCLE timer is always available,
which is not true on some platforms (e.g. ARM).
Fixing the tests not to reply on the CYCLE availability.
This is an addition to original fix. Buildbot revealed another sporadic failure
in perfschema.threads_mysql test. Tests relies on data stored in
performance_schema.threads, while performing waits on
information_schema.processlist. These tables are not updated synchronously.
Fixed by performing waits on performance_schema.threads instead.
Permanently removed test case perfschema.aggregate.
The Performance Schema is generally lock-free, allowing for
race conditions that might arise from multi-threaded operation
which occasionally results in temporary and/or minor variances
when aggregating statistics. This test needs to be redesigned
to accommodate such variances.
Problem is that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK first blocks threads from
starting new commits, then waits for running commits to complete. But
in-order parallel replication needs commits to happen in a particular
order, so this can easily deadlock.
To fix this problem, this patch introduces a way to temporarily pause
the parallel replication worker threads. Before starting FTWRL, we let
all worker threads complete in-progress transactions, and then
wait. Then we proceed to take the global read lock. Once the lock is
obtained, we unpause the worker threads. Now commits are blocked from
starting by the global read lock, so the deadlock will no longer occur.

During slow execution, e.g. under valgrind, there was a chance
that Aria checkpoint would happen while P_S tables were being
queried; it could cause different data in joined P_S, and
thus combinations of results that the test did not expect.
Fixed by disabling Aria checkpoints for the test.
Fix a possible race in the test case when restarting the server.
Make sure we have disconnected before waiting for the reconnect
that signals that the server is back up. Otherwise, we may in
rare cases continue the test while the old server is shutting
down, eventually leading to "connection lost" failure.
