- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
  (Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
   than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code

  Fixed compilation problem on FreeBSD,
  after discussion with Jani.
  Doesn't FreeBSD follow the standard?

check_equality() finds equalities among field items. It checks input items
to be Item_fields thus skipping view's fields, which are represented by
Item_direct_view_ref. Because of this index wasn't applied in all cases
it can be.

To fix this problem check_equality() now takes real item of
Item_direct_view_ref, except outer view refs (with depended_from set).

  - Added error printout and nice exit for duplicate default sections
