Backport 3/3 commits from #117541.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Previously, the logic in mvccResolveWriteIntent was structured in such a
way that if an intent contained both ignored and non-ignored seq nums
in its intent history, the intent may end up being updated instead of
aborted or unmodified (see examples in 644be59).

This commit fixes the bugs by ensuring that the intent history is
modified only when an intent resolution update is not aborted, and the
update and the actual intent have the same epoch.

Fixes: #117553

Release note: None


Release justification: Fixes an unexpected behavior in intent resolution.

Rename the intent argument to the mvccResolveWriteIntent,
MVCCResolveWriteIntent, and MVCCResolveWriteIntentRange functions to
make it clear that it refers to the state passed in via ResolveIntent,
and not the current value of the stored intent.

Informs: cockroachdb#117553

Release note: None
The logic in mvccResolveWriteIntent is structured in such a way that if
an intent contains both ignored and non-ignored seq nums in its intent
history, the intent may end up being updated instead of aborted or
unmodified. For the following examples, assume the intent has a
history ["a", "b"] where "a" is written first, and "b" is ignored.

1. The intent resolution has status aborted. Instead of aborting the
intent, it is modified to have value "a" and an empty intent history.

2. The intent resolution has status pending, and the intent has a lower
epoch than the resolution. The intent should be aborted because the new
epoch may not write it again. Instead, it is updated with value "a" and
an empty intent history.

3. Same as 2 but the intent resolution has status committed.

4. The intent resolution has status pending, the intent is not pushed
and has a higher epoch than the resolution. The intent should not be
updated because the intent history is updated only when the epochs
match. Instead, it is updated with value "a" and an empty intent
history.

5. Same as 4 but the intent is pushed. The intent should be updated to
bump its timestamp in order to unblock the pusher. The intent history
should not be updated for the same reason as in 3. Instead, the intent
is updated with value "a" and an empty intent history.

This commit only reproduces the bugs.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL and one additional
    TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.

This change has a slight modification compared to the original PR in #117541. In this PR, the data driven unit tests don't assert on the logged logical ops because that feature of TestMVCCHistories is not available in 23.1.
