The problem is caused by the operation of netcat streamer and does
not appear on systems where socat is installed. We need to add the
"-N" option for netcat to call shutdown() on the socket when receiving
EOF from STDIN.
Also add a check for tmp file being empty and bail out with a clear
error message in such a case, as mysqld_safe prevents normal stderr
from being displayed anywhere and would fail silently on this.

Using mysqlhotcopy, the following error occurs:
DBD::mysql::db do failed: You can't use locks with log tables at

Setting "streamfmt=mbstream" in the "[sst]" section causes SST to fail
because the format automatically switches to 'tar' by default (insead
of mbstream).
To fix this, we need to add mbstream to the list of valid values for
the format, making it synonymous with xbstream. This must be done both
in the SST script and when parsing the options of the corresponding
utilities.
When the mysqld_multi script passes the --defaults-group-suffix
option to mysqld, it must remove the initial substring with the
group name ("mysqld") from option value, because otherwise substring
"mysqld" will be added to the group name and then the group name
will contain the word "mysqld" twice, which is wrong, because
mysqld itself adds the suffix received to the group name.

A syntax error in the mysqld_multi.sh script has been fixed
here + a "--defaults-group-suffix" option has been moved to
the top of the mysqld options list.

mysqld_safe --dry-run needs to either call exit or return, depending if
it is being sourced or not, otherise return can lead to the error:
return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script

This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
After applying MDEV-18863, in some test configurations, SST
may fails due to duplication of some parameters (in particular
"--port") in the main part of the command line and after
"--mysqld-args", as well as due to incorrect interpretation
of the parameter "--port" passed after "--mysqld-args" when
the SST script is invoked without explicitly specifying a port
for SST. In addition, it is necessary to correctly handle spaces,
quotation marks and special characters when copying original
arguments from the argv[] array to a new command line (after
"--mysqld-args"). This patch resolves these shortcomings.
Some users and some scripts (for example, mysqld_multi.sh) use special
option groups with names like [mysqld1], [mysqld2], ..., [mysqldN].
But SST scripts can't currently fully support these option groups.
The only option group-related value it gets from the server is
--defaults-group-suffix, if that option was set for mysqld when
the server was started.
However, the SST scripts does not get told by the server to read
these option groups, so this means that the SST script will fail
to read options like innodb-data-home-dir when it is in a option
group like [mysqld1]...[mysqldN].
Moreover, SST scripts ignore many parameters that can be passed
to them explicitly and cannot transfer them further, for example,
to the input of mariabackup utility. Ideally, we want to transfer
all the parameters of the original mysqld call to utilities such
as mariabackup, however the SST script does not receive these
parameters from the server and therefore cannot transfer them to
mariabackup.
To correct these shortcomings, we need to transfer to the scripts
all of the parameters of the original mysqld call, and in the SST
scripts themselves provide for the transfer all of these parameters
to utilities such as mariabackup. To prevent these parameters from
mixing with the script's own parameters, they should be transferred
to SST script after the special option "--mysqld-args", followed by
the string argument with the original parameters, as it received by
the mysqld call at the time of launch (further all these parameters
will be passed to mariabackup, for example).
In addition, the SST scripts themselves must be refined so that
they can read the parameters from the user-selected group, not just
from the global mysqld configuration group. And also so that they
can receive the parameters (which important for their work) as
command-line arguments.
