DBUG_SYNC_POINT has at least one strong limitation that it's not defined
on all platforms. It has issues cooperating with @@debug.
All in all its functionality is superseded by DEBUG_SYNC facility and
there is no reason to maintain the old less flexible one.

Fixed with adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
a sync-action in the server sources code and re-writing existing simulations
(found 3) to use it.
Couple of tests have been reworked as well.

The patch offers a pattern for setting sync-points in replication threads
where the standard DEBUG_SYNC does not suffice to reach goals.





mysql-test/extra/rpl_tests/rpl_get_master_version_and_clock.test:
  rewriting the test from GET_LOCK()-based to DEBUG_SYNC-based;
  a pattern of usage DEBUG_SYNC for replication testing is provided.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_get_master_version_and_clock.result:
  results are changed.
