Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani 76590804bf MDEV-41550 MTR doesn't produce core dump or stack trace when a server hangs during startup
Problem:
========
If a server hangs in startup, mtr either waits for its pid file for
--start-timeout seconds and gives up with "Failed to start" (or)
when the test restarts the server, leaves the waiting to mysqltest,
which ends after about 500 seconds with "Server failed to restart".
In both cases the hung server is killed with SIGKILL, so
no core dump and no stack trace is produced, and it is
impossible to find out where the server got stuck.

Solution:
=========
dump_core_for_hung_server(): Sends SIGABRT to a server that is
still alive and waits for it to finish dumping core.
The server's fatal signal handler writes the stack trace
to the error log.

sleep_until_file_created(): call it when the wait for the pid file
times out and the process is still alive. This covers the servers
that mtr starts and waits for itself.

check_expected_crash_and_restart(): when mtr restarts a server on
behalf of the test, remember the time by which the
server must have created its pid file ($opt_start_timeout)

run_testcase() wakes up at that time, and if the server is
still alive without a pid file, it dumps core, fails the test with
"Failed to restart mysqldN, no pid file after N seconds" and kills
mysqltest, instead of waiting for it to give up.

mysql_server_wait(): append the server log of the failed server
to the failure report, as the other failure paths do.

Behavior change:
================
A restart done by the test now has to finish within --start-timeout
(180 seconds by default, MTR_START_TIMEOUT), the same as an initial
start. Before, only the test's own wait applied, about 500 seconds
with restart_mysqld.inc. A slow but healthy restart that needs more
than --start-timeout now fails with a core dump. Raise
MTR_START_TIMEOUT for such tests. Under a debugger the timeouts are
much longer, so nothing changes there.

Servers that are only slow, or that mtr has not waited for yet
are not aborted before the timeout.
