DEBUG_SYNC signals can get lost in certain tests due to later
DEBUG_SYNC commands overwriting them. This patch addresses
these issues in three tests: main.query_cache_debug,
main.partition_debug_sync, and
rpl.rpl_dump_request_retry_warning.

Additionally, main.partition_debug_sync needed changes to the
result file (the others did not). The synchronization happened
between two commands, one based on ALTER, the other on DROP.
A new thread/connection was needed to synchronize the DEBUG_SYNC
actions between these commands, thereby changing the result file.
Additional comments were added for clarification.
