fix for 29125).

mysql-client used static buffer to concatenate server-
version and version_comment. Sufficiently long comments
could get cut off. This was harmless, but looked daft.

One shouldn't need to run "make" on server source to get the stuff we say

Unknown timezone specifications are properly rejected
by the server, but are copied into tz_storage before
rejection, and hence is retained until end of server 
life. With sufficiently large bogus timezone specs, 
it is easy to exhaust system memory.
      
Allocation of memory for a copy of the timezone
name is delayed until after verification of validity,
at the cost of a memcpy of the timezone info. This 
only happens once, future lookups will hit the cached
structure.

When loading dump created by mysqldump tool an error is
thrown saying storage engine for the table doesn't have 
an option.
                        
mysqldump tries to re-insert the data into the federated
table which causes the error. Since the data is already
available on the remote server, mysqldump shouldn't try
to dump the data again for FEDERATED tables.
                        
As stated in the bug page, it can be considered similar
to the MERGE ENGINE with "view only" nature.
                        
Fixed by adding the "FEDERATED ENGINE" to the exception
list to ignore the data.
