Description:
Background innformation provided by Facebook:

To run tests where multiple invocations of mtr may be running on the same host, but in different chroots, we need to override the directory MTR uses to reserve unique thread ids, and thus ports, so that the runs all see the same directory and do not conflict with one another.

Fixed in 8.0.16.

mysql-test-run.pl now supports the MTR_UNIQUE_IDS_DIR environment
variable, which may be set to specify a unique-IDs directory to be
used as the common location for all chroot environments by multiple
simultaneous mysql-test-run.pl instances. This enables those
instances to avoid conflicts when reserving port numbers. Thanks to
Facebook for the contribution.
