What problem does this PR solve?

try to resume task if sync unit exits with invalid connection error

What is changed and how it works?

it's a poor and very rough retry feature, the main reason is that the concurrency control of the sub task module is very confusing and needs to be optimized. After improve its state transition and concurrency control, I will optimize the implementation of retry feature.

Check List

Tests

  • Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)
    • set up a dm cluster
    • start a task
    • interfere network to let connetion timeout
    • check whether dm-worker would try to resume task

Is the concurrency control optimization including the following scenario?
all of DM-worker's connections to downstream TiDB suddenly reset by downstream(caused by TiDB restart, network cutting etc.), then we must recover each connection in syncer and if the worker-count config of syncer is N, we will wait (N + 1) * 10 seconds at most.

first of all it is concurrent, I don't understand why we need to wait (N + 1) * 10 seconds at most.
For the refactoring, more is the reconstruction of the the structure, making the moudle and funcion more reasone, of course we can increase the backoff property

I mean for each subtask, (N + 1) * 10 seconds may be not continuous, but each DB connection must be recovered. So the worst case is (N + 1) * 10 seconds sums up.

but it's real concurrent, right?

it's the logic of unit, we can refine while refactoring sync unit

we can refactor units one by one and then the outer state transition later.

should we need to close all DB connections and re-open them in sync unit?
some users reported that they need to resume-task multi times when "invalid connection" occurred.
