VARIABLE_VALUE field is decreased to 1024 symbols.
(affected I_S tables: GLOBAL_VARIABLES, SESSION_VARIABLES,
 GLOBAL_STATUS, SESSION_STATUS).
The only variable which can be longer than 1024 is
init_connect. The variable will be truncated with warning.
Additional fix:
Added where condition filter which speed up queries which
have where condition with expressions which use VARIABLE_NAME
field.

japanese characters.

Fix - removed obsolvete setlocale from my_init.c . In MBCS 
environments it caused unwanted character-to-byte translations
in fputc()  in client code and wrong output as result.

            
Innodb monitor could cause a server crash because of invalid access to a
shared variable in a concurrent environment.
                  
This patch adds a guard to protect against crashes but not against
inconsistent values because of performance reasons.

Problem 1: BUG#36625: rpl_redirect doesn't do anything useful. It tests an
obsolete feature that was never fully implemented.
Fix 1: Remove rpl_redirect.
Problem 2: rpl_innodb_bug28430 and rpl_flushlog_loop are disabled despite the
bugs for which they were disabled have been fixed.
Fix 2: Re-enable rpl_innodb_bug28430 and rpl_flushlog_loop.

The convert_constant_item function converts a constant to integer using
field for condition like 'field = a_constant'. In some cases the
convert_constant_item is called for a subquery when outer select is already
being executed, so convert_constant_item saves field's value to prevent its
corruption. For EXPLAIN and at the prepare phase field's value isn't
initialized yet, thus when convert_constant_item tries to restore saved
value it fails assertion.

Now the convert_constant_item doesn't save/restore field's value if it's
haven't been read yet. Outer constant values are always saved.

order by

Problem was that the first index read was unordered,
and the next was ordered, resulting in use of
uninitialized data.

Solution was to use the correct variable to see if
the 'next' call should be ordered or not.

  Bug#39848 events_bugs fails sporadically on pushbuild
            (missing rows in table event_log)
     Details: Reimplement the subtest for BUG 28924

                event_log changes but don't print rows
                because the number varies depending on

              This cannot prevent problems caused by the probably
              buggy release_lock() but it reveals if we had a
              problem in this area.
