Problem:
========
If a primary is shutdown during an active semi-sync connection
during the period when the primary is awaiting an ACK, the primary
hard kills the active communication thread and does not ensure the
transaction was received by a replica. This can lead to an
inconsistent replication state.
Solution:
========
During shutdown, the primary should wait for an ACK or timeout
before hard killing a thread which is awaiting a communication. We
extend the `SHUTDOWN WAIT FOR SLAVES` logic to identify and ignore
any threads waiting for a semi-sync ACK in phase 1. Then, before
stopping the ack receiver thread, the shutdown is delayed until all
waiting semi-sync connections receive an ACK or time out. The
connections are then killed in phase 2.
Notes:
1) There remains an unresolved corner case that affects this
patch. MDEV-28141: Slave crashes with Packets out of order when
connecting to a shutting down master. Specifically, If a slave is
connecting to a master which is actively shutting down, the slave
can crash with a "Packets out of order" assertion error. To get
around this issue in the MTR tests, the primary will wait a small
amount of time before phase 1 killing threads to let the replicas
safely stop (if applicable).
2) This patch also fixes MDEV-28114: Semi-sync Master ACK Receiver
Thread Can Error on COM_QUIT

This change is to get rid of randomly failing tests, especially those
that reads random position of the binary log. From looking at the logs
it's clear that some failures is because of a read char (with value >= 128)
is converted to a big long value. Using uchar everywhere makes this much
less likely to happen.
Another benefit is that a lot of cast of char to uchar could be removed.
Other things:
- Removed some extra space before '=' and '+=' in assignments
- Fixed indentations and lines > 80 characters
- Replace '16' with 'element_size' (from class definition) in
Gtid_list_log_event()
and specifically the ack receiving functionality.
Semisync is turned to be static instead of plugin so its functions
are invoked at the same points as RUN_HOOKS.
The RUN_HOOKS and the observer interface remain to be removed by later
patch.
Todo:
React on killed status by repl_semisync_master.wait_after_sync(). Currently
Repl_semi_sync_master::commit_trx does not check the killed status.
There were few bugfixes found that are present in mysql and its unclear
whether/how they are covered. Those include:
Bug#15985893: GTID SKIPPED EVENTS ON MASTER CAUSE SEMI SYNC TIME-OUTS
Bug#17932935 CALLING IS_SEMI_SYNC_SLAVE() IN EACH FUNCTION CALL
HAS BAD PERFORMANCE
Bug#20574628: SEMI-SYNC REPLICATION PERFORMANCE DEGRADES WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF THREADS
RUN_HOOK() is only called if semisync is enabled
As the server can't disable the hooks if something is in progress, I added
a new variable, run_hooks_enabled, that is set the first time semi sync is
used. This means that RUN_HOOK will have no overhead, unless semi sync
master or slave has been enabled once.
Some of the changes was just to get rid of warnings for embedded server

key_ss_cond_COND_binlog_send_ -> key_COND_binlog_send
COND_binlog_send_ -> COND_binlog_send
