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.

sql/sql_table.cc: print an error with a function that respects width modifiers (%.64s)

checked with --auto-repair mode returned an error (such
as being a merge table). (Bug #9492)

  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)

  dict_load_table(): Remove the check for row_format=compact for now,
  because the flag bit we used (high-order bit of mix_len)
  has not been zero for at least two customers.
