Monty ffe7f19fa6 MDEV-24746 Atomic CREATE TRIGGER
The purpose of this task is to ensure that CREATE TRIGGER is atomic

When a trigger is created, we first create a trigger_name.TRN file and then
create or update the table_name.TRG files.
This is done by creating .TRN~ and .TRG~ files and replacing (or creating)
the result files.

The new logic is

- Log CREATE TRIGGER to DDL log, with a marker if old trigger existsted
- If old .TRN or .TRG files exists, make backup copies of these
- Create the new .TRN and .TRG files as before
- Remove the backups

Crash recovery
- If query has been logged to binary log:
  - delete any left over backup files
- else
   - Delete any old .TRN~ or .TRG~ files
   - If there was orignally some triggers (old .TRG file existed)
      - If we crashed before creating all backup files
         - Delete existing backup files
      - else
         - Restore backup files
      - end
   - Delete .TRN and .TRG file (as there was no triggers before

One benefit of the new code is that CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER is now
totally atomic even if there existed an old trigger: Either the old
trigger will be replaced or the old one will be left untouched.

Other things:
- If sql_create_definition_file() would fail, there could be memory leaks
  in CREATE TRIGGER, DROP TRIGGER or CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER.  This
  is now fixed.

To debug a the ddl_recovery code in a failing ddl_recovery test one could do
the following:
- Add # before --exec echo "restart" ...
- Force $e (engine), $c (crash point) and $r (crash position) to the values
where things goes wrong. See comments in alter_table.test for how to do this.
- start mariadbd in a debugger
run the following in the debugger
(Replace 'atomic.create_trigger' with the failing test case)
#break ha_recover
#break MYSQL_BIN_LOG::recover
#break MYSQL_BIN_LOG::open
break ddl_log_close_binlogged_events
break ddl_log_execute_action
break ddl_log_execute_recovery
