This is a follow-up server ticket from the conversations held in WT-7902.

During startup recovery, if the table logging settings need to be changed, there's a chance for WT_SESSION.alter to return EBUSY even if that command is executed after the recovery (see WT-7902 for more details), causing startup to fail. A workaround that was proposed is to take a checkpoint and retry the call when EBUSY is returned. We should investigate the feasibility of this.
