Bug #44486 master_retry_count cannot be displayed

Description:
We cannot examine the current master_retry_count settings by any means. SHOW SLAVE STATUS or SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES should show this parameter.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
Add master_retry_count to SHOW SLAVE STATUS or SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES. IMHO, SHOW SLAVE STATUS is preferable because it shows master_connect_retry.

Thank you for the problem report.

      BUG#44486: master_retry_count cannot be displayed
      
      SHOW SLAVE STATUS did not show master_retry_count.
      
      We fix this by adding a line to the end of the output
      of SHOW SLAVE STATUS that prints out the current value
      of master_retry_count.
      
      Additionally, several test result files needed to be
      updated (due to the extra output in SHOW SLAVE STATUS).
