When one session SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and holds the lock, subsequent
sessions that SELECT ... FOR UPDATE will wait to get the lock.
Currently, that event is labeled as `wait/io/table/sql/handler`, which
is incorrect. Instead, it should have been
`wait/lock/table/sql/handler`.
Two factors contribute to this bug:
1. Instrumentation interface and the heavy usage of `TABLE_IO_WAIT` in
`sql/handler.cc` file. See interface [^1] for better understanding;
2. The balancing act [^2] of doing instrumentation aggregration _AND_
having good performance. For example, EVENTS_WAITS_SUMMARY... is
aggregated using EVENTS_WAITS_CURRENT. Aggregration needs to be based
on the same wait class, and the code was overly aggressive in label a
LOCK operation as an IO operation in this case.
The proposed fix is pretty simple, but understanding the bug took a
while. Hence the footnotes below. For future improvement and
refactoring, we may want to consider renaming `TABLE_IO_WAIT` and making
it less coarse and more targeted.
Note that newly added test case, events_waits_current_MDEV-29091,
initially didn't pass Buildbot CI for embedded build tests. Further
research showed that other impacted tests all included not_embedded.inc.
This oversight was fixed later.

prefer reading Doxygen produced html file, but for whatever reason, the
