MariaDB Fix “Can’t init tc log” Error

I messed up my automation of backups, meaning that after two years my entire VPS had secretly filled up. This lead to MariaDB being unable to initialize. After taking care of the root cause MariaDB still refused to start.

$ sudo tail -3 /var/log/mysql/error.log

2018-02-20 12:07:45 140649776292416 [ERROR] Can't init tc log
2018-02-20 12:07:45 140649776292416 [ERROR] Aborting

Stupidly, just removing the zero byte `/var/lib/mysql/tc.log` file took care of the problem.
