Bug#43587: Putting event_scheduler=1 in init SQL file crashes

mysqld

The problem was that enabling the event scheduler inside a init
file caused the server to crash upon start-up. The crash occurred
because the event scheduler wasn't being initialized before the
commands in the init-file are processed.

The solution is to initialize the event scheduler before the init
file is read. The patch also disables the event scheduler during
bootstrap and makes the bootstrap operation robust in the
presence of background threads.
