  Bug#16780: Extend port range to make space for 5.1 NDBCLUSTER_PORT_SLAVE

When setup_fields() function finds field named '*' it expands it to the list
of all table fields. It does so by checking that the first char of
field_name is '*', but it doesn't checks that the '* is the only char.
Due to this, when updating table with a field named like '*name', such field
is wrongly treated as '*' and expanded. This leads to making list of fields
to update being longer than list of the new values. Later, the fill_record() 
function crashes by dereferencing null when there is left fields to update,
but no more values.

Added check in the setup_fields() function which ensures that the field
expanding will be done only when '*' is the only char in the field name.

Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT
INSERT ... SELECT with the same table on both sides (hidden
below a MERGE table) does now work by buffering the select result.
The duplicate detection works now after open_and_lock_tables() 
on the locks.
I did not find a test case that failed without the change in
sql_update.cc. I made the change anyway as it should in theory
fix a possible MERGE table problem with multi-table update.

Initialized usable_keys from table->keys_in_use instead of ~0
in test_if_skip_sort_order(). It was possible that a disabled
index was used for sorting.

Version for 4.0.
It fixes two problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
   the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
   replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
   TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
   for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
   Though the function comment clearly said it must.
   I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
   the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".

 - cleanup: removed obsolete support-files/MacOSX/make_mysql_pkg.pl
   script (we now use Do-pkg for building OS X packages)

   directory - these files are now maintained in the mysqldoc
   repository and included in the source distribution during the
   release build. Updated the configure.in script and Makefiles to
   create the man page file list at build time
 - Updated the file list in the RPM spec file to include all currently
   available man pages (this can not be done with wildcards, as
   the man pages are spread across several subpackages. However, RPM
   warns about unpackaged files, so newly added man pages can be 
   spotted)

DISTINCT wasn't optimized away and caused creation of tmp table in wrong
case. This result in integer overrun and running out of memory.

Fix backported from 4.1. Now if optimizer founds that in result be only 1
