    Description

      To create a system trigger on start up/shut down the following statement should be executed:

      CREATE TRIGGER [IF NOT EXISTS] trigger_name AFTER STARTUP trigger_body
      CREATE TRIGGER [IF NOT EXISTS] trigger_name BEFORE SHUTDOWN trigger_body
      

      To drop a system trigger, the regular DROP TRIGGER statement is used.
      The SUPER privilege is required to create or drop a system trigger.
      A system trigger is created in the schema that is current at the moment the CREATE TRIGGER statement executed.

      Metadata of system trigger is stored at the table mysql.event. To store system trigger metadata this table is extended with the following columns:
      kind, when, ddl_type
      The table mysql.event has the primary on columns (`db`,`name`). In result, it is not possible to create an event and a system trigger with name in the same database. Attempt to do it will fail with the error ER_TRG_EVENT_CONFLICTS_NAME

      Implementation of the statements

      SHOW TRIGGERS
      SHOW CREATE TRIGGER
      

      are modified to handle system triggers.

      The utility program mariadb-dump is patched to support dumping of system triggers.
