    The parameter innodb_log_checksums that was introduced in MariaDB 10.2.2
    via mysql/mysql-server@af0acedd885eb7103e319f79d25fda7386ef1506
    does not make much sense. The original motivation of introducing this
    parameter (initially called innodb_log_checksum_algorithm in
    mysql/mysql-server@22ba38218e1d76c24f69b5a5595ad3bf5933acb0)
    was that the InnoDB redo log used the slow and insecure innodb algorithm.
    With hardware or SIMD accelerated CRC-32C, there should be no reason to
    allow checksums to be disabled on the redo log.
    
    The parameter innodb_encrypt_log already implies innodb_log_checksums=ON.
    
    Let us deprecate the parameter innodb_log_checksums and always compute
    redo log checksums, even if innodb_log_checksums=OFF is specified.
    
    An upgrade from MariaDB 10.2.2 or later will only be possible after
    using the default value innodb_log_checksums=ON. If the non-default
    value innodb_log_checksums=OFF was in effect when the server was shut down,
    a log block checksum mismatch will be reported and the upgraded server
    will fail to start up.
