`Seconds_Behind_Master` is not accessible through `information_schema`

Details

    Description

      Seconds_Behind_Master (and possibly other replication-related status variables) are not accessible through INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_STATUS:

      MariaDB [information_schema]> SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_STATUS WHERE VARIABLE_NAME LIKE '%seconds%';
      Empty set (0.00 sec)
      

      This seems inconsistent, since other replication-related status variables are accessible:

      MariaDB [information_schema]> SELECT * FROM GLOBAL_STATUS WHERE VARIABLE_NAME LIKE 'slave%';
      +----------------------------+----------------+
      | VARIABLE_NAME              | VARIABLE_VALUE |
      +----------------------------+----------------+
      | SLAVE_CONNECTIONS          | 15             |
      | SLAVE_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD     | 30.000         |
      | SLAVE_OPEN_TEMP_TABLES     | 0              |
      | SLAVE_RECEIVED_HEARTBEATS  | 505            |
      | SLAVE_RETRIED_TRANSACTIONS | 0              |
      | SLAVE_RUNNING              | ON             |
      | SLAVE_SKIPPED_ERRORS       | 0              |
      | SLAVES_CONNECTED           | 1              |
      | SLAVES_RUNNING             | 1              |
      +----------------------------+----------------+
      9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
      

      A possible use case could be defining EVENTs to create a self-contained monitoring solution for replication lag in a multi-master environment. Currently, the only way to get Seconds_Behind_Master from SQL is to use a CURSOR to parse the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS in a procedure...
