    Bug #39920: MySQL cannot deal with Leap Second expression in string literal. · 8f36a23c

    Updated MySQL time handling code to react correctly on UTC leap second additions.
    MySQL functions that return the OS current time, like e.g. CURDATE(), NOW() etc
    will return :59:59 instead of :59:60 or 59:61.
    As a result the reader will receive :59:59 for 2 or 3 consecutive seconds 
    during the leap second.
    This fix will not affect the values returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for leap seconds.
    But note that when converting the value returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() to broken 
    down time the correction of leap seconds will still be applied.
    Note that this fix will make a difference *only* if the OS is specially configured
    to return leap seconds from the OS time calls or when using a MySQL time zone 
    defintion that has leap seconds.
    Even after this change date/time literals (or other broken down time 
    representations) with leap seconds (ending on :59:60 or 59:61) will still be 
    considered illegal and discarded by the server with an error or 
    a warning depending on the sql mode.
    Added a test case to demonstrate the effect of the fix.
