Added protection against global read lock while creating and
initializing a delayed insert handler.
Allowed to ignore a global read lock when locking the table
inside the delayed insert handler.
Added some minor improvements.

  while testing changes to the mysql-copyright scripts

- fixed copyright header and removed obsolete comments about how to
  build the manual using texinfo
- added an "install-data-hook" to install the mysql.info info page.
  This seems to be the only way to install info pages, if they are not
  built from texinfo sources directly.

  (it's already in EXTRA_DIST of the toplevel Makefile.am)

  already (and that's the Makefile that acutally creates it)

don't set lex->lock_option=TL_READ in the parser for SELECT

set_bit replaced with internal_set_bit,
clear_bit replaced with internal_clear_bit.

- fixed a date for a changelog entry  in the RPM spec file (s/Mar/Apr/) - RPM complains about wrongly
  ordered entries.

  references to the .texi file and the build targets that depend on manual.texi as the input file.
- added COPYING as a regular file instead of creating it during the build. This ensures that it's part
  of the sources when pulling from BK (it used to be extracted from the manual)
- Removed a lot of cruft and unused/obsolete stuff from the Docs directory (e.g. Flags, Images)
- added a dummy mysql.info placeholder file (the info file is still used as the source to extract
  various text files during the build). It will be replaced with a "real" file during the Bootstrap
  process to create the official source distribution - the placeholder just satisfies build dependencies.

We should not cache queries using CURRENT_USER() function as we do it
for some other functions, e.g. USER() function.

  Added option --with-big-tables

the current way of passing '-DBIG_TABLES' to the compilers.

This is needed even in 4.0, as 'Do-compile-all' must use this new approach for
all "max" builds in 4.0, 4.1, and up.

Fixed Field_timestamp::val_int() so now it works correctly in --new mode
(or for TIMESTAMP(19) columns). 
Also removed unused Field_timestamp::fill_and_store() method.

  If MySQL wrote to its binlog, but for some reason trx->update_undo and trx->insert_undo were NULL in InnoDB, then trx->commit_lsn was garbage, and InnoDB could assert in the log flush of trx_commit_complete_for_mysql() (Bug #9277)
