MDEV-34822: Skip FK checks in Galera during applying in IST
Appliers need to verify foreign key constraints during normal
operation, in multi-active topologies, and for this reason appliers
are configured to enable FK checking.
However, during node joining, in IST and latter catch up period,
the node is still idle (from local connections), and only source
for incoming transactions is the cluster sending certified write
sets for applying. IST happens with parallel applying, and there
is a possibility that foreign key check cause lock conflicts between
appliers accessing FK child and parent tables. Also, the excessive
FK checking will slow down IST process somewhat.
For this reasons, we could relax FK checks for appliers during IST
and catch up periods. The relaxed FK check mode should, however, be
configurable e.g. by wsrep_mode flag: SKIP_APPLIER_FK_CHECKS_IN_IST.
When this operation mode is set, and the node is processing IST or
catch up, appliers should skip FK checking.
