Let us introduce a dummy variable innodb_max_purge_lag_wait
for waiting that the InnoDB history list length is below
the user-specified limit. Specifically,
SET GLOBAL innodb_max_purge_lag_wait=0;
should wait for all history to be purged. This could be useful
when upgrading from an older version to MariaDB 10.3 or later,
to avoid hitting MDEV-15912.
Note: the history cannot be purged if there exist transactions
that may see old versions.
