mysql_install_db does not encrypt system tablespace when innodb_encrypt_tables is set

    Description

      When mysql_install_db initializes a new InnoDB system tablespace and innodb_encrypt_tables is set to ON or FORCE, should the newly created InnoDB tablespace be encrypted? That does not appear to happen with the current implementation.

      Let's say that we have the following configuration:

      plugin-load-add=file_key_management
      file-key-management
      file_key_management_encryption_algorithm=aes_cbc
      file_key_management_filename = /etc/my.cnf.d//keys.enc
      file_key_management_filekey = secret
      innodb-encrypt-tables
      innodb-encrypt-log
      innodb-encryption-threads=4
      encrypt-tmp-disk-tables=1
      encrypt-tmp-files=1
      #encrypt-binlog=1
      innodb_encryption_rotate_key_age = 0
      

      I would expect the system tablespace (where space_id=0) to be encrypted, but it is not:

      [ec2-user@ip-172-30-0-58 ~]$ sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql
      Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in '/var/lib/mysql' ...
      OK
       
      To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
      support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
       
      PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MariaDB root USER !
      To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
       
      '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root password 'new-password'
      '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root -h ip-172-30-0-58.us-west-2.compute.internal passw                                                                             ord 'new-password'
       
      Alternatively you can run:
      '/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation'
       
      which will also give you the option of removing the test
      databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
      strongly recommended for production servers.
       
      See the MariaDB Knowledgebase at http://mariadb.com/kb or the
      MySQL manual for more instructions.
       
      You can start the MariaDB daemon with:
      cd '/usr' ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/var/lib/mysql'
       
      You can test the MariaDB daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
      cd '/usr/mysql-test' ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

      If I change innodb_encryption_rotate_key_age to the default value of 1 (see also MDEV-14398 about that), then the system tablespace is encrypted in the background the next time mysqld is restarted, which suggests that it probably should have been encrypted from the start.
