SHOW CREATE TABLE or SELECT FROM I_S.

Actually, the bug discovers two problems:
  - the original query is not preserved properly. This is the problem
    of BUG#16291;
  - the resultset of SHOW CREATE TABLE statement is binary.

This patch fixes the second problem for the 5.0.

Both problems will be fixed in 5.1.

the loose scan optimization for grouping queries was applied returned 
a wrong result set when the query was used with the SQL_BIG_RESULT
option.

The SQL_BIG_RESULT option forces to use sorting algorithm for grouping
queries instead of employing a suitable index. The current loose scan
optimization is applied only for one table queries when the suitable
index is covering. It does not make sense to use sort algorithm in this
case. However the create_sort_index function does not take into account
the possible choice of the loose scan to implement the DISTINCT operator
which makes sorting unnecessary. Moreover the current implementation of
the loose scan for queries with distinct assumes that sorting will
never happen. Thus in this case create_sort_index should not call
the function filesort.

INSERT into table from SELECT from the same table
with ORDER BY and LIMIT was inserting other data
than sole SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT returns.

One part of the patch for bug #9676 improperly pushed
LIMIT to temporary table in the presence of the ORDER BY
clause.
That part has been removed.

The C optimizer may decide that data access operations
through pointer of different type are not related to 
the original data (strict aliasing).
This is what happens in fetch_long_with_conversion(),
when called as part of mysql_stmt_fetch() : it tries 
to check for truncation errors by first storing float
(and other types of data) into a char * buffer and then 
accesses them through a float pointer.
This is done to prevent the effects of excess precision
when using FPU registers.
However the doublestore() macro converts a double pointer
to an union pointer. This violates the strict aliasing rule.
Fixed by making the intermediary variables volatile (
to not re-introduce the excess precision bug) and using
the intermediary value instead of the char * buffer.
Note that there can be loss of precision for both signed
and unsigned 64 bit integers converted to double and back,
so the check must stay there (even for compatibility 
reasons).
Based on the excellent analysis in bug 28400.

ALTER VIEW is currently not supported as a prepared statement
and should be disabled as such as they otherwise could cause server crashes.

ALTER VIEW is currently not supported when called from stored
procedures or functions for related reasons and should also be disabled.

This patch disables these DDL statements and adjusts the appropriate test
cases accordingly.

Additional tests has been added to reflect on the fact that we do support
CREATE/ALTER/DROP TABLE for Prepared Statements (PS), Stored Procedures (SP)
and PS within SP.

The reason the "reap;" succeeds unexpectedly is because the query was completing(almost always) and the network buffer was big enough to store the query result (sometimes) on Windows, meaning the response was completely sent before the server thread could be killed.

Therefore we use a much longer running query that doesn't have a chance to fully complete before the reap happens, testing the kill properly.

- When creating an index for the sort, the number of rows plus 1 is used 
to allocate a buffer.  In this test case, the number of rows 4294967295 
is the max value of an unsigned integer, so when 1 was added to it, a 
buffer of size 0 was allocated causing the crash.
- Create new test suite for this bug's test suite as per QA.
