MDEV-20699 mysqldump of routines causes MariaDB to get killed by oom-killer
The reason for this behavior is that SP get cached, per connection. The stored_program_cache is size of this cache, which amounts to 256 routines by default. A compiled stored procedure can easily be several megabytes in size. Thus calling SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE for all stored procedures, like mysqldump does, can require significant amount of memory. Fixed by bypassing the cache for "SHOW CREATE". This should normally be fine also perfomance-wise, as cache is meant to be used for repeated execution, not repeated SHOW CREATEs. Added a test to verify that CREATE PROCEDURE + SHOW CREATE PROCEURE do not cache, i.e amount of allocated memory does not change. Note, there is a change in existing behavior in an edge case : If "SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE p1" called from p1, after p1 was altered, now this will now return altered code. Previour behavior - relied on caching and would return old code. The previous behavior might was not necessarily correct.
