Description:
After testing out Bug #59148, it becomes clear that running the entire test suite with --debug as it is now, is not a good idea. This option currently does two things: first, it uses mysqld-debug and debug versions of plugins, second it passed --debug (or --loose-debug) to servers and clients.

This will result in a few hundred Gb of trace if the entire test suite is run, clearly too much. It also slows the tests down by large factor.

How to repeat:
Run mtr --debug without limiting to a few tests

Suggested fix:
Leave the --debug as it is (we should not change existing functionality), but add another option --debug-server which ensure we run with the debug version of the server.

It should use mysqld-debug if it finds it, but will not pass the default --debug option. Some tests may set it explicitly though.

If it doesn't find mysqld-debug it probably should check if mysqld supports debug, and fail if it doesn't.

      Bug #59979 Add mtr option to run debug server, but without turning on debug
      Added --debug-server and use $opt_debug_server where appropriate
      Let --debug imply --debug-server
      When merging to 5.5, must adapt fix for 59148

      Oops, set debug => debug-server too late, fixed
