global debug_dbug pre-test value restoration issues

Details

    Description

      There are two failure-prone pattern in mtr suite tests that allows for a pre-test
      global.debug_dbug value to not be actually restored, though the test intends doing so.

      1. Total reset of @@global.debug_dbug at the end of the test, like in
      rpl.kill_race_condition leads to a mtr report like

      MTR's internal check of the test case 'rpl.kill_race_condition' failed.
      This means that the test case does not preserve the state that existed
      before the test case was executed.  Most likely the test case did not
      do a proper clean-up. It could also be caused by the previous test run
      by this thread, if the server wasn't restarted.
      no* further _formatting_ is done here
      

      when run with a pre-installed debug_dbug: ./mtr --mysqld = --debug=d,....

      2. reset to a "$saved" mtr variable that expands at the assignment

      mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile.test:77:eval SET @@global.debug_dbug= '$old_debug';
      

      to a string whose value is actually variable
      e.g 'cos of the pre-installation pattern of p.1.

      Resetting should be done either via save/restore through a session @var, see

      mysql-test/suite/versioning/t/debug.test:34:set global debug_dbug=@old_dbug;
      

      or instead of the memorization pattern a +/-d,keyword increment and decrement style should be used.
      For using the latter without threatening to polute the server error log though we lack
