Description:
Several parts of main.mysql_upgrade_grant test search the server error log for expected patterns. But they do so without restarting the server with some custom error log path, as a result, the log contains everything from the MTR run on the same worker so far.

This is bad because now the searches can find output of the preceding tests. This breaks --repeat option, retry on failure, and should any previous test caused same output in the server log, the corresponding part of the test stops working and just passes silently.

How to repeat:
1) Copy main.mysql_upgrade_grant to main.mysql_upgrade_grant2:
$ cd mysql-test/
$ cp t/mysql_upgrade_grant.test t/mysql_upgrade_grant2.test
$ cp r/mysql_upgrade_grant.result r/mysql_upgrade_grant2.result

2) Break mysql_upgrade_grant2 test intentionally by removing the command which later causes the expected error log output:

3) Verify that the test is broken by missing error log output:

$ ./mtr --debug-server mysql_upgrade_grant2
...
main.mysql_upgrade_grant2                [ fail ]
        Test ended at 2017-08-02 10:37:54

# ERROR: The file '/Users/laurynas/percona/obj-mysql-8.0.2-asan-debug-openssl/mysql-test/var/log/mysqld.1.err' does not contain the expected pattern  User entry 'B19011337_ohash'@'localhost' has a deprecated pre-4.1 password. The user will be ignored and no one can login with this user anymore.

4) Now run mysql_upgrade_grant followed by mysql_upgrade_grant2, and see a false positive pass:

$ ./mtr --debug-server mysql_upgrade_grant mysql_upgrade_grant2
...
main.mysql_upgrade_grant                 [ pass ]  236993
main.mysql_upgrade_grant2                [ pass ]  246627
...

Suggested fix:
Restart the server at the start of the testcase with custom error log, grep that, restart again at the end with the default log, remove the custom log.

Fixed in 8.0.3.

The main.mysql_upgrade_grant, main.roles-upgrade, and
auth_sec.secure_file_priv_warnings, test cases mishandled the error
log. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for the patch.
