    The slave was crashing while failing to execute the init_slave() function.
          
    The issue stems from two different reasons:
          
    1 - A failure while allocating the master info structure generated a
        segfault due to a NULL pointer.
          
    2 - A failure while recovering generated a segfault due to a non-initialized
        relay log file. In other words, the mi->init and rli->init were both set to true
        before executing the recovery process thus creating an inconsistent state as the
        relay log file was not initialized.
          
    To circumvent such problems, we refactored the recovery process which is now executed
    while initializing the relay log. It is ensured that the master info structure is
    created before accessing it and any error is propagated thus avoiding to set mi->init
    and rli->init to true when for instance the relay log is not initialized or the relay
    info is not flushed.
          
    The changes related to the refactory are described below:
          
    1 - Removed call to init_recovery from init_slave.
          
    2 - Changed the signature of the function init_recovery.
          
    3 - Removed flushes. They are called while initializing the relay log and master
        info.
          
    4 - Made sure that if the relay info is not flushed the mi-init and rli-init are not
        set to true.
          
    In this patch, we also replaced the exit(1) in the fault injection by DBUG_ABORT()
    to make it compliant with the code guidelines.
