MDEV-11479 Improved wsrep_dirty_reads

    Tasks:-
        Changes in wsrep_dirty_reads variable
        1.) Global + Session scope (Current: session-only)
        2.) Allow all commands that do not change data (besides SELECT)
        3.) Allow prepared Statements that do not change data
        4.) Works with wsrep_sync_wait enabled

You also seemed to have made the variable available as a command line option. Please specify that as well.

You're not really testing the global aspect of the variable here. You're only testing the sesssion behaviour of it. Also, test with it both ON and OFF (when setting it globally). Here's a sample that tests both session and global behaviour:

--enable_connect_log

SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;
SET @@session.expensive_subquery_limit=300;
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;

create user user1;
create user user2;
--connect (con1, localhost, user1,,)
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;
SET @@session.expensive_subquery_limit=300;
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;

connection default;

SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;
SET @@global.expensive_subquery_limit=400;
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;

--connect (con2, localhost, user1,,)
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;


connection default;
drop user user1;
drop user user2;

************************************

300
connect  con2, localhost, user1,,;
SELECT @@expensive_subquery_limit;
@@expensive_subquery_limit
400
connection default;
drop user user1;
drop user user2;

Notice how the last connection has the default value 400 as that's the global value. For your use case, you'd also have to execute the prepared statements to see if it works (execute select_stmt).

Test invalid values for global scope as well. It should not change obviously but since we're writing tests, might as well do that too.

Put this line on one line only, the single & is confusing, or better, turn it into a small inline function, such as command_changes_data()

+          !all_tables)                        &&
Can't tell for certain but this condition might not be necessary if you have the previous one. What happens when you have a stored procedure that inserts into a table? Does the CF_CHANGES_DATA flag filter out the query or not?
ex:
select function_with_side_efect(1);
This seems like a good test case that I'm not sure is tested for this variable anyway. Please try it.

 This here is not correct. This will not execute the select if wsrep_dirty_reads is true and wsrep_ready is true and wsrep_sync_wait(thd) is non-zero.

We might need a guard here since global variables can be changed from multiple places. Not 100% sure about this but that's my intuition. Need to look this up.

Typo: disconnectd -> disconnected.
I really hate how the whole file is set up with TRUE/FALSE/0 for either bool or my_bool. It's so inconsistent. I'd prefer 'true' here to complicate stuff further. :) To be "consistent" I'd make it a my_bool, but we should clean up all of this mess at one point.
