MDEV-5509: Seconds_behind_master incorrect in parallel replication
The problem was a race between the SQL driver thread and the worker threads. The SQL driver thread would set rli->last_master_timestamp to zero to mark that it has caught up with the master, while the worker threads would set it to the timestamp of the executed event. This can happen out-of-order in parallel replication, causing the "caught up" status to be overwritten and Seconds_Behind_Master to wrongly grow when the slave is idle. To fix, introduce a separate flag rli->sql_thread_caught_up to mark that the SQL driver thread is caught up. This avoids issues with worker threads overwriting the SQL driver thread status. In parallel replication, we then make SHOW SLAVE STATUS check in addition that all worker threads are idle before showing Seconds_Behind_Master as 0 due to slave idle.
