Bug #51648 DBUG_SYNC_POINT is not defined on all platforms and mtr cant pre-check that

DBUG_SYNC_POINT has at least one strong limitation that it's not defined
on all platforms. It has issues cooperating with @@debug.
All in all its functionality is superseded by DEBUG_SYNC facility and
there is no reason to maintain the old less flexible one.

Fixed with adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
a sync-action in the server sources code and re-writing existing simulations
(found 3) to use it.
Couple of tests have been reworked as well.

The patch offers a pattern for setting sync-points in replication threads
where the standard DEBUG_SYNC does not suffice to reach goals.





mysql-test/extra/rpl_tests/rpl_get_master_version_and_clock.test:
  rewriting the test from GET_LOCK()-based to DEBUG_SYNC-based;
  a pattern of usage DEBUG_SYNC for replication testing is provided.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/r/rpl_get_master_version_and_clock.result:
  results are changed.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_get_master_version_and_clock.test:
  rewriting the test from GET_LOCK()-based to DEBUG_SYNC-based;
  limiting the test to run only with MIXED binlog-format as the test last
  some 10 secs sensitively contributing to the total of tests run.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_show_slave_running.test:
  rewriting the test from GET_LOCK()-based to DEBUG_SYNC-based.
sql/debug_sync.cc:
  adding debug_sync_set_action() function as a facility to set up
  a sync-action in the server sources code.
sql/debug_sync.h:
  externalizing debug_sync_set_action().
sql/item_func.cc:
  purging sources from DBUG_SYNC_POINT.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  purging sources from DBUG_SYNC_POINT.
sql/slave.cc:
  rewriting failure simulations to base on DEBUG_SYNC rather than GET_LOCK()-based DBUG_SYNC_POINT.
sql/sql_repl.cc:
  removing an orphan failure simulation line because no counterpart in tests existing.
