This  patch makes ndbcluster_hton not static. I have a second patch for ndbcluster_hton to be static, but I want to talk to Jonas first.

This patch adds handlerton passing to functions. NDB and Innodb still require a global hanlderton in the main code due to the nature of the sql_cache call back function (should be solveable... another patch).
Partitioning now has a flag to allow disabling of engines from being compatible with partitioning. Cleaned up heap naming convention on panic call.

- Re-worked the prev_record_reads() function to return the lower bound of
  number of different table access scans that will be performed.

  Fix: "mysql --xml" now print NULL values the same way that "mysqldump --xml" does:
  
    <field name="name" xsi:nil="true" />
  
  to distinguish from empty strings:
  
    <field name="name"></field>
  
  and from string "NULL":
  
    <field name="name">NULL</field>

  Problem: for character sets having mbmaxlen==2,
  any ALTER TABLE changed TEXT column type to MEDIUMTEXT,
  due to wrong "internal length to create length" formula.
  Fix: removing rounding code introduced in early 4.1 time,
  which is not correct anymore.

  Adding a multibyte-aware VARCHAR copying function, to put correct column prefix,
  taking in account number of characters (instead just limiting on number of bytes).
  For example, for a KEY(col(3)) on a UTF8 column when copying the string 'foo bar foo',
  we should put only 3 leftmost characters: 'foo'.
  9 characters were incorrectly put before this fix.

On an INSERT into an updatable but non-insertable view an error message was
issued stating the view being not updatable. This can lead to a confusion of a
user.

A new error message is introduced. Is is showed when a user tries to insert
into a non-insertable view.

  binlog_row_binlog.test failure in team tree.
  Fixing the result that gets wrong with --binlog-format=mixed
(so that skipped on pushbuild currently)

by make test - got changed due to show binlog events relocation to deterministic
position at extra/binlog_tests/binlog_insert_delayed.test.
