Yuchen Pei 734583b0d7 MDEV-31400 Simple plugin dependency resolution ...

We introduce simple plugin dependency. A plugin init function may
return HA_ERR_RETRY_INIT. If this happens during server startup when
the server is trying to initialise all plugins, the failed plugins
will be retried, until no more plugins succeed in initialisation or
want to be retried.

This will fix spider init bugs which is caused in part by its
dependency on Aria for initialisation.

The reason we need a new return code, instead of treating every
failure as a request for retry, is that it may be impossible to clean
up after a failed plugin initialisation. Take InnoDB for example, it
has a global variable `buf_page_cleaner_is_active`, which may not
satisfy an assertion during a second initialisation try, probably
because InnoDB does not expect the initialisation to be called
twice.
