NULL column for NULL

The optimization to read MIN() and MAX() values from an
index did not properly handle comparisons with NULL
values. Fixed by giving up the particular optimization step
if there are non-NULL safe comparisons with NULL values, as 
the result is NULL anyway.

Also, Oracle copyright notice was added to all files.

Base Tables

The type inferrence of a view column caused the result to be
interpreted as the wrong type: DATE colums were interpreted
as TIME and TIME as DATETIME. This happened because view
columns are represented by Item_ref objects as opposed to
Item_field's. Item_ref had no method for retrieving a TIME
value and thus was forced to depend on the default
implementation for any expression, which caused the
expression to be evaluated as a string and then parsed into
a TIME/DATETIME value.

Fixed by letting Item_ref classes forward the request for a
TIME value to the referred Item - which is a field in this
case - this reads the TIME value directly without
conversion.

Fix up function return value, it must return a double.

SunStudio
      
SunStudio compilers of late warn about methods that might hide
methods in base classes due to the use of overloading combined
with overriding. SunStudio also warns about variables defined
in local socpe or method arguments that have the same name as
a member attribute of the class.
      
This patch renames methods that might hide base class methods,
to make it easier both for humans and compilers to see what is
actually called. It also renames variables in local scope.

Additional result file update

join view in sql_safe_updates mode. 

This bug was unexpectedly fixed along with bug 
number 49534. This patch contains only the test
case.

BUG#51342 - more xid crashing

Restore autocommit variable by supplying explicit value.

(regression)

Problem was that partition pruning did not exclude the
last partition if the range was beyond it
(i.e. not using MAXVALUE)

Fix was to not include the last partition if the
partitioning function value was not within the partition
range.

SET autocommit=1 while XA transaction is active may
cause various side effects, including memory corruption
and server crash.

The problem is that SET autocommit=1 and further queries
attempt to commit local transaction, whereas XA transaction
is still active.

As local and XA transactions are mutually exclusive, this
patch forbids enabling autocommit mode while XA transaction
is active.

MySQL uses two source layouts when building : the bzr 
layout and the source package layout.
The previous fix for bug 35250 contained 1 change that is
valid for both modes and a number of changes that are valid
only for the bzr source layout.
The important thing was to fix the source package layout.
And for this the change in configure.in was sufficient.
It's not trivial (and not requested by this bug) to support 
VPATH builds from the bzr trees.
This is why the other changes are reverted and the change to
fix the VPATH build for source distributions is left intact.

The test case added in previous patch missed a RESET MASTER on
test start up. Without it, showing binary log contents can
sometimes show spurious entries from previously executed tests,
ultimately causing test failure - result mismatch.

The test file was added in:
revid:luis.soares@sun.com-20100224190153-k0bpdx9abe88uoo2

This patch also moves the test case into binlog_innodb_row.test
file. This way we avoid having yet another test file,
binlog_row_innodb_truncate.test, whose only purpose is to host
one test case. This had been actually suggested during original
patch review, but somehow the binlog_innodb_row was missed when
searching for a file to host the test case.

The problem was that UNINSTALL PLUGIN wasn't performing privilege
checks before removing a plugin. Any user (including users without 
any kind of privileges) could uninstall any plugin.

The solution is to verify if the user has the DELETE privilege for
the mysql.plugin table before uninstalling a plugin.

The problem is that Item_direct_view_ref which is inherited
from Item_ident updates orig_table_name and table_name with
the same values. The fix is introduction of new constructor
into Item_ident and up which updates orig_table_name and
table_name separately.

      
Applied a path from Jim Winstead : Added a GPL notice.
Added the missing '(c)' and 'v2'. 

mysql_upgrade was passing an non-initialized non-null tmpdir to create_temp_file() if no 
--tmpdir was specified. This prevents create_temp_file() from taking the system 
temporary file path and as a result mysql_upgrade was trying to open a file in a 
directory that it may not have write access to.
Fixed by making sure mysql_upgrade will pass a zero length temp dir string to 
create_temp_file() if no --tmpdir is specified.
