Description:
In the event of a power failure or other improper shutdown of a machine you
may encounter one of these failures with opening the binary log related files:
1. binlog has bad magic number. Its not a binary log file that can be used by this version of mysql
2. can’t init tc log

We should add a server option that tells mysqld to force a reload of the binary
log related files so that it may continue starting up.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:

We should add a server option that tells mysqld to force a reload of the binary
log related files so that it may continue starting up such as:
--force-binary-log-reload-on-error
