setup alternative name for rhel8/centos8

use correct C/C version when providing mariadb-connector-c
and other changes for installation over distro packages to work:

  dnf install mariadb-server
  dnf install --allowerasing MariaDB-{server,common,client,shared}*.rpm

In commit ea37b144
we removed the MDEV-16222 test case but forgot to remove
the debug instrumentation.

When we move data we should fix buffer string length

remove Timeval workaround (not needed anymore).
add template workaround.
comments.

Fix WolfSSL build:

- Do not build with TLSv1.0,it stopped working,at least with SChannel client
- Disable a test that depends on TLSv1.0
- define FP_MAX_BITS always, to fix 32bit builds.
- Increase MAX_AES_CTX_SIZE, to fix build on Linux

under LOCK TABLES we still have to open everything, otherwise DML
prelocking will try to take an MDL on a table that wasn't in the
LOCK TABLES list.

ibuf_read_merge_pages(): Request a possibly freed page.
The change buffer is discarded lazily for freed pages either
by this function or when buf_page_create() reuses a page.

buf_page_get_low(): Relax a debug assertion.
Do not attempt change buffer merge on freed pages.

ibuf_merge_or_delete_for_page(): Assert that the page state is NORMAL.
INIT_ON_FLUSH is not possible, because in that case buf_page_create()
should have removed any buffered changes for the page.

buf_page_get_gen(): Apply buffered changes also in the case when
we can avoid reading the page based on buffered redo log records.
This addresses a hard-to-reproduce scenario that was broken in
commit 6697135c.

Let us use the common accessor function fil_page_get_type()
instead of accessing the page header field FIL_PAGE_TYPE directly.

Rowid Filter check is just like Index Condition Pushdown check: before
we check the filter, we must check if we have walked out of the range
we are scanning. (If we did, we should return, and not continue the scan).

Consequences of this:
- Rowid filtering doesn't work for keys that have partially-covered
  blob columns (just like Index Condition Pushdown)
- The rowid filter function has three return values: CHECK_POS (passed)
  CHECK_NEG (filtered out), CHECK_OUT_OF_RANGE.

All of the above is implemented in this patch

fsp0pagecompress.h: Remove.
Invoke fil_page_get_type() and FSP_FLAGS_GET_PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL
directly.

log_block_get_flush_bit(), log_block_set_flush_bit():
Access the byte directly.

dict_sys_read_row_id(): Remove (unused function).

Also fixes:
MDEV-21487: Implement option for mysql_upgrade that allows root@localhost to be replaced
MDEV-21486: Implement option for mysql_install_db that allows root@localhost to be replaced

Add user mariadb.sys to be definer of user view
(and has right on underlying table global_priv for
required operation over global_priv
(SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE))

Also changed definer of gis functions in case of creation,
but they work with any definer so upgrade script do not try
to push this change.

%config(noreplace) /etc/security

only MDL-prelock but do not open FK child tables for read-only (RESTRICT)
FK actions.

Tables still needs to be opened for CASCADE actions, see 9180e866

We must ensure that the NUL will not terminate the query string.

Part of
MDEV-18353 - Shutdown may miss to wait for connection thread

MDEV-22130 SHOW WARNINGS will SIGSEGV 10.5 optimized build after setting CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS to NULL and running any invalid SQL | Binary_string::copy_printable_hhhh

The old code did not take into account that
thd->variables.character_set_results can be NULL.

Replace the 30-second sleep in the test with proper
DEBUG_SYNC interlocking.

MDEV-22424 Server crashes in handler::check_duplicate_long_entry_key or Assertion `inited == NONE || lookup_handler != this' failed upon DELETE FOR PORTION on table with long unique key

even if we're *allowed to* convert DELETE .. FOR PERIOD OF
into an update internally, doesn't think we'll *be able to*.

We always have to prepare for insert.

MDEV-22185 Failing assertion: node->pcur->rel_pos == BTR_PCUR_ON or ER_KEY_NOT_FOUND or Assertion `inited==NONE' failed in handler::ha_index_init

long unique checks should be done for a partitioned table as a whole,
not for individual partitions.

Followup for f3f31eaa that extends it to UPDATE

as mentioned in f9f33b85 and generally to make it
easier to talk about

MDEV-21437 MariaDB's SUSE/SLES packages don't "provide" all of the same capabilities as the platform's default packages

ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Do not allow
ALGORITHM=INSTANT for operations that avoid a table rebuild
but involve dropping (or creating) secondary indexes.

Now all access goes through _current_thd() and set_current_thd()
functions.

Some functions like THD::store_globals() can not fail now.
