PURGE BINARY LOGS did not always purge binary logs. This commit fixes
some of the issues and adds notifications if a binary log cannot be
purged.
User visible changes:
- 'PURGE BINARY LOG TO log_name' and 'PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE date'
worked differently. 'TO' ignored 'slave_connections_needed_for_purge'
while 'BEFORE' did not. Now both versions ignores the
'slave_connections_needed_for_purge variable'.
- 'PURGE BINARY LOG..' commands now returns 'note' if a binary log cannot
be deleted like
Note 1375 Binary log 'master-bin.000004' is not purged because it is
the current active binlog
- Automatic binary log purges, based on date or size, will write a
note to the error log if a binary log matching the size or date
cannot yet be deleted.
- If 'slave_connections_needed_for_purge' is set from a config or
command line, it is set to 0 if Galera is enabled and 1 otherwise
(old default). This ensures that automatic binary log purge works
with Galera as before the addition of
'slave_connections_needed_for_purge'.
If the variable is changed to 0, a warning will be printed to the error
log.
Code changes:
- Added THD argument to several purge_logs related functions that needed
THD.
- Added 'interactive' options to purge_logs functions. This allowed
me to remove testing of sql_command == SQLCOM_PURGE.
- Changed purge_logs_before_date() to first check if log is applicable
before calling can_purge_logs(). This ensures we do not get a
notification for logs that does not match the remove criteria.
- MYSQL_BIN_LOG::can_purge_log() will write notifications to the user
or error log if a log cannot yet be removed.
- log_in_use() will return reason why a binary log cannot be removed.
Changes to keep code consistent:
- Moved checking of binlog_format for Galera to be after Galera is
initialized (The old check never worked). If Galera is enabled
we now change the binlog_format to ROW, with a warning, instead of
aborting the server. If this change happens a warning will be printed to
the error log.
- Print a warning if Galera or FLASHBACK changes the binlog_format
to ROW. Before it was done silently.

Fix yet another race in the rpl_gtid_startpos test case.
Implement include/wait_for_purge.inc to purge binary logs; we need to
retry the purge multiple times until it succeeds in removing all the logs
we want, as binlog dump threads can be slow to stop on loaded machines and
hold back purge of logs that are still referenced by the thread.
