    BUG#64503: mysql frequently ignores --relay-log-space-limit
    
    When the SQL thread goes to sleep, waiting for more events, it sets
    the flag ignore_log_space_limit to true. This gives the IO thread a
    chance to queue some more events and ultimately the SQL thread will be
    able to purge the log once it is rotated. By then the SQL thread
    resets the ignore_log_space_limit to false. However, between the time
    the SQL thread has set the ignore flag and the time it resets it, the
    IO thread will be queuing events in the relay log, possibly going way
    over the limit.
    
    This patch makes the IO and SQL thread to synchronize when they reach
    the space limit and only ask for one event at a time. Thus the SQL
    thread sets ignore_log_space_limit flag and the IO thread resets it to
    false everytime it processes one more event. In addition, everytime
    the SQL thread processes the next event, and the limit has been
    reached, it checks if the IO thread should rotate. If it should, it
    instructs the IO thread to rotate, giving the SQL thread a chance to
    purge the logs (freeing space). Finally, this patch removes the
    resetting of the ignore_log_space_limit flag from purge_first_log,
    because this is now reset by the IO thread every time it processes the
    next event when the limit has been reached.
    
    If the SQL thread is in a transaction, it cannot purge so, there is no
    point in asking the IO thread to rotate. The only thing it can do is
    to ask for more events until the transaction is over (then it can ask
    the IO to rotate and purge the log right away). Otherwise, there would
    be a deadlock (SQL would not be able to purge and IO thread would not
    be able to queue events so that the SQL would finish the transaction).
