master_retry_count (ignored if disconnect happens on SET master_heartbeat_period)

Hello,

The documentation for the "master_retry_count" variable marks it as deprecated:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/replication-and-binary-log-server-system-variables/#master_retry_count

However, there is no indication on how to go about enabling this feature. It appears that there may be a larger issue here:

I'm using 10.0.10

Thanks!
