Remove dry-run mode from isolationtester

michaelpq · michaelpq · commit 834cb7269166 · 2021-06-17T11:01:20.000+09:00
The original purpose of the dry-run mode is to be able to print all the possible permutations from a spec file, but it has become less useful since isolation tests have improved regarding deadlock detection as one step not wanted by the author could block indefinitely now (originally the step blocked would have been detected rather quickly). Per discussion, let's remove it. This is a backpatch of 9903338 for 9.6~12. It is proving to become useful to have on those branches so as the code gets consistent across all supported versions, as a matter of improving the output generated by isolationtester.
