    Bugfix for 53290, fast unique index creation fails on duplicate null values

    Summary:
    Bug in the fast index creation code incorrectly considers null
    values to be duplicates during block merging.  Innodb policy is that
    multiple null values are allowed in a unique index.  Null duplicates
    were correctly ignored while sorting individual blocks and with slow
    index creation.

    Test Plan:
    mtr, including new test, load dbs using deferred index creation

Allow multiple indexes to be dropped. (Bug #53256)

Bug#53417 my_getwd() makes assumptions on the buffer sizes which not always hold true
      
The mysys library contains many functions for rewriting file paths. Most of these
functions makes implicit assumptions on the buffer sizes they write to. If a path is put
in my_realpath() it will propagate to my_getwd() which assumes that the buffer holding
the path name is greater than 2. This is not true in cases.
      
In the special case where a VARBIN_ITEM is passed as argument to the LOAD_FILE function
this can lead to a crash.
      
This patch fixes the issue by introduce more safe guards agaist buffer overruns.

are different in 5.1 comparing to that of 5.5, so a hand port is
necessary to avoid wrong default option to be set by a simple
branch merge.

This is the 5.1 merge and extension of the fix.
The server was happily accepting paths in table name in all places a table
name is accepted (e.g. a SELECT). This allowed all users that have some 
privilege over some database to read all tables in all databases in all
mysql server instances that the server file system has access to.
Fixed by :
1. making sure no path elements are allowed in quoted table name when
constructing the path (note that the path symbols are still valid in table names
when they're properly escaped by the server).
2. checking the #mysql50# prefixed names the same way they're checked for
path elements in mysql-5.0.
