Recover MariaDB Redo Log Corruption with force_recovery and Reinit

MariaDB would not start after an unclean shutdown — a corrupted InnoDB redo log took the mysql.global_priv system table down with it. This is the recovery sequence I actually used, starting with innodb_force_recovery to make the data readable, then dumping each db before reinitializing the whole system, with one rule never to raise force_recovery higher than necessary.
