After MDEV-31400, plugins are allowed to ask for retries when failing initialisation. However, such failures also cause plugin system variables to be deleted (plugin_variables_deinit()) before retrying and are not re-added during retry. We fix this by checking that if the plugin has requested a retry the variables are not deleted. Because plugin_deinitialize() also calls plugin_variables_deinit(), if the retry fails, the variables will still be deleted. Alternatives considered: - remove the plugin_variables_deinit() from plugin_initialize() error handling altogether. We decide to take a more conservative approach here. - re-add the system variables during retry. It is more complicated than simply iterating over plugin->system_vars and call my_hash_insert(). For example we will need to assign values to the test_load field and extract more code from test_plugin_options(), if that is possible.
