MDEV-17958 Make bug-endian innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 optional
In MySQL 5.7, it was noticed that files are not portable between big-endian and little-endian processor architectures (such as SPARC and x86), because the original implementation of innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 was not byte order agnostic. A byte order agnostic implementation of innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 was only added to MySQL 5.7, not backported to 5.6. Consequently, MariaDB Server versions 10.0 and 10.1 only contain the CRC-32C implementation that works incorrectly on big-endian architectures, and MariaDB Server 10.2.2 got the byte-order agnostic CRC-32C implementation from MySQL 5.7. MySQL 5.7 introduced a "legacy crc32" variant that is functionally equivalent to the big-endian version of the original crc32 implementation. Thanks to this variant, old data files can be transferred from big-endian systems to newer versions. Introducing new variants of checksum algorithms (without introducing new names for them, or something on the pages themselves to identify the algorithm) generally is a bad idea, because each checksum algorithm is like a lottery ticket. The more algorithms you try, the more likely it will be for the checksum to match on a corrupted page. So, essentially MySQL 5.7 weakened innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32, and MariaDB 10.2.2 inherited this weakening. We introduce a build option that together with MDEV-17957 makes innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_crc32 strict again by only allowing one variant of the checksum to match. WITH_INNODB_BUG_ENDIAN_CRC32: A new cmake option for enabling the bug-compatible "legacy crc32" checksum. This is only enabled on big-endian systems by default, to facilitate an upgrade from MariaDB 10.0 or 10.1. Checked by #ifdef INNODB_BUG_ENDIAN_CRC32. ut_crc32_byte_by_byte: Remove (unused function). legacy_big_endian_checksum: Remove. This variable seems to have unnecessarily complicated the logic. When the weakening is enabled, we must always fall back to the buggy checksum. buf_page_check_crc32(): A helper function to compute one or two CRC-32C variants.
