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

Originally introduced by e972125f1 to avoid harmless wait for
LOCK_global_system_variables in a newly created thread, which creation was
initiated by system variable update.
At the same time it opens dangerous hole, when system variable update
thread already released LOCK_global_system_variables and ack_receiver
thread haven't yet completed new THD construction. In this case THD
constructor goes completely unprotected.
Since ack_receiver.stop() waits for the thread to go down, we have to
temporarily release LOCK_global_system_variables so that it doesn't
deadlock with ack_receiver.run(). Unfortunately it breaks atomicity
of rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled updates and makes them not serialized.
LOCK_rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled was introduced to workaround the above.
TODO: move ack_receiver start/stop into repl_semisync_master
enable_master/disable_master under LOCK_binlog protection?
Part of MDEV-14984 - regression in connect performance
The patch fixes a fired assert in the semisync master module. The assert
caught attempt to switch semisync off (per rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_no_slave = OFF)
when it was not even initialized (per rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled = OFF).
The switching-off execution branch is relocated under one that executes
enable_master() first.
A minor cleaup is done to remove the int return from two functions that
did not return anything but an error which could not happen in the functions.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
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.
