  Move copying of global variables into thd.variables into plugin_thdvar_init().
  plugin_thdvar_init() may be called multiple times when THD::change_user() is called.
  This fixes a plugin ref-count leak when running the test mysql_client_test

 fixed coverage of out-of-mem errors

 - added join cache indication in EXPLAIN (Extra column).
 - prefer filesort over full scan over 
   index for ORDER BY (because it's faster).
 - when switching from REF to RANGE because
   RANGE uses longer key turn off sort on
   the head table only as the resulting 
   RANGE access is a candidate for join cache
   and we don't want to disable it by sorting
   on the first table only. 

The LEAST/GREATEST functions compared DATE/DATETIME values as
strings which in some cases could lead to a wrong result.

A new member function called cmp_datetimes() is added to the
Item_func_min_max class. It compares arguments in DATETIME context
and returns index of the least/greatest argument.
The Item_func_min_max::fix_length_and_dec() function now detects when
arguments should be compared in DATETIME context and sets the newly
added flag compare_as_dates. It indicates that the cmp_datetimes() function
should be called to get a correct result.
Item_func_min_max::val_xxx() methods are corrected to call the
cmp_datetimes() function when needed.
Objects of the Item_splocal class now stores and reports correct original
field type.

Fix tests when InnoDB is not built-in. Innodb options would cause
mysqld to abort with an error indicating that the option is unknown.
Fix tests on Windows where mysql-test-run.pl was unable to probe
mysqld for version and variables information, caused by output
being redirected to a log file instead.

When checking for applicability of join cache
we must disable its usage only if there is no
temp table in use.
When a temp table is used we can use join
cache (and it will not make the result-set 
unordered) to fill the temp table. The filesort() 
operation is then applied to the data in the temp 
table and hence is not affected by join cache
usage.
Fixed by narrowing the condition for disabling 
join cache to exclude the case where temp table
is used.

Non-correlated scalar subqueries may get executed
in EXPLAIN at the optimization phase if they are
part of a right hand sargable expression.
If the scalar subquery uses a temp table to 
materialize its results it will replace the 
subquery structure from the parser with a simple
select from the materialization table.
As a result the EXPLAIN will crash as the 
temporary materialization table is not to be shown
in EXPLAIN at all.
Fixed by preserving the original query structure
right after calling optimize() for scalar subqueries
with temp tables executed during EXPLAIN.

The generic string to int conversion was used by the Item_func_signed and
the Item_func_unsigned classes to convert DATE/DATETIME values to the
SIGNED/UNSIGNED type. But this conversion produces wrong results for such
values.

Now if the item which result has to be converted can return its result as
longlong then the item->val_int() method is used to allow the item to carry
out the conversion itself and return the correct result.
This condition is checked in the Item_func_signed::val_int() and the
Item_func_unsigned::val_int() functions.
