MDEV-26923 Check all invalid config options
Previously, the behavior was to error out on the first invalid option encountered. With this change, a best effort approach is made so that all invalid options processed will be printed before exiting. There is a caveat. The options are processed many times at varying stages of server startup because the server is not aware of all valid options immediately (e.g. plugins have to be loaded first before the server knows what are the available plugin options). So, there are some options that the server can determine are invalid "early" on, and there are some options that the server cannot determine are invalid until "later" on. For example, the server can determine an option such as `--a` is an ambiguous option very early on but an option such as `--this-does-not-match-any-option` cannot be labelled as invalid until the server is aware of all available options. Thus, it is possible that the server will still fail before printing out all "invalid" options. You can see this by passing `--a --obvious-invalid-option`. Test cases were added to `mysqld_option_err.test` to validate that multiple invalid options will be displayed in the error message.
