MDEV-22271 Excessive stack memory usage due to WSREP_LOG
Several tests that involve stored procedures fail on 10.4 kvm-asan (clang 10) due to stack overrun. The main contributor to this stack overrun is mysql_execute_command(), which is invoked recursively during stored procedure execution. Rebuilding with cmake -DWITH_WSREP=OFF shrunk the stack frame size of mysql_execute_command() by more than 10 kilobytes in a WITH_ASAN=ON, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build. The culprit turned out to be the macro WSREP_LOG, which is allocating a separate 1KiB buffer for every occurrence. We replace the macro with a function, so that the stack will be allocated only when the function is actually invoked. In this way, no stack space will be wasted by default (when WSREP and Galera are disabled). This backports commit b6c5657e from MariaDB 10.3.1. Without ASAN, compilers can be smarter and optimize the stack usage. The original commit message mentions that 1KiB was saved on GCC 5.4, and 4KiB on Mac OS X Lion, which presumably uses a clang-based compiler.
