Fixed bug #29294.
The `SELECT 'r' INTO OUTFILE ... FIELDS ENCLOSED BY 'r' ' statement encoded the 'r' string to a 4 byte string of value x'725c7272' (sequence of 4 characters: r\rr). The LOAD DATA statement decoded this string to a 1 byte string of value x'0d' (ASCII Carriage Return character) instead of the original 'r' character. The same error also happened with the FIELDS ENCLOSED BY clause followed by special characters: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' and 'N'. NOTE 1: This is a result of the undocumented feature: the LOAD DATA INFILE recognises 2-byte input sequences like \n, \t, \r and \Z in addition to documented 2-byte sequences: \0 and \N. This feature should be documented (here backspace character is a default ESCAPED BY character, in the real-life example it may be any ESCAPED BY character). NOTE 2, changed behaviour: Now the `SELECT INTO OUTFILE' statement with the `FIELDS ENCLOSED BY' clause followed by one of: 'n', 't', 'r', 'b', '0', 'Z' or 'N' characters encodes this special character itself by doubling it ('r' --> 'rr'), not by prepending it with an escape character.
