MDEV-3997: Querying a Cassandra table on a server with query cache enabled is likely to cause problems
- Disable query cache for Cassandra tables.

my_alloca() cannot have MY_THREAD_SPECIFIC, because can be used
outside of the THD context.

when no ha_example.so is built

Add a wait for binlog checkpoint to avoid thread scheduling
giving different binlog order at random.

When CHANGE MASTER fails, it may or may not have already added
the Master_info * to the index. Implement logic that properly
handles removal and freeing in both cases.

from MariaDB 10.0.
  
The bug in mdev-3948 was an instance of the problem fixed by Sergey's patch
in 10.0 - namely that the range optimizer could change table->[read | write]_set,
and not restore it.

  Now, ROR-merged QUICK_RANGE_SELECT objects make no assumptions about the values
  of table->read_set and table->write_set.
  Each QUICK_ROR_SELECT has (and had before) its own column bitmap, but now, all 
  QUICK_ROR_SELECT's functions that care: reset(), init_ror_merged_scan(), and 
  get_next()  will set table->read_set when invoked and restore it back to what 
  it was before the call before they return.

  This allows to avoid the mess when somebody else modifies table->read_set for 
  some reason.

MDEV-3875 Wrong result (missing row) on a DISTINCT query with the same subquery in the SELECT list and GROUP BY

fix remove_dup_with_hash_index() and remove_dup_with_compare() to take NULLs into account

The problem was that a temporary table was re-created as a non-temporary table.

Miscellaneous workarounds for  drop-in compatibility problems with Linux distributions, arounf versioning of the 
MySQL 5.5 client shared library. There seems to be 3 different ways major distributions handle versioning

1. Fedora  (also Mageia, and likely  other Redhat descendants) way 
   old, 5.1 API functions are given version libmysqlclient_16
   new API functions  (client plugins, mysql_stmt_next ) are given version libmysqlclient_18
   some extra functions beyond API are exported.
   some functions are renamed.

2.Debian Wheezy way 
  all functions are given libmysqlclient_18 version

3. Ubuntu  way (or MySQL/MariaDB download packages)
  no versioning

UIp to this fix, MariaDB distributions did not have any versioning in the libraries, this rendered client library incompatible to distributions 
thus exchanging  distribution's libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0  with MariaDB's did not work nicely (anywhere but on Ubuntu)


THE FIX  
is to build libraries the same way as distributions do it 
- when building RPMs, use  same version script as Fedora does, Make sure to export extra-symbols, the same as Fedora exports.
- when building DEBs, use the same version script as Debian Wheezy
- do not use version scripts otherwise


Also, makes sure that extensions of  MySQL APIs (asynchronous client functionality) is exported by  the shared libraries.
