rpl.rpl_seconds_behind_master_spike uses the DEBUG_SYNC mechanism to
count how many format descriptor events (FDEs) have been executed,
to attempt to pause on a specific relay log FDE after executing
transactions. However, depending on when the IO thread is stopped,
it can send an extra FDE before sending the transactions, forcing
the test to pause before executing any transactions, resulting in a
table not existing, that is attempted to be read for COUNT.

This patch fixes this by no longer counting FDEs, but rather by
programmatically waiting until the SQL thread has executed the
transaction and then automatically activating the DEBUG_SYNC point
to trigger at the next relay log FDE.
