Lots of code fixes to the replication code (especially the binary logging and index log file handling)
Fixed bugs in my last changeset that made MySQL hard to compile.

Added mutex around some data in the slave start/stop code that could cause THD linked list corruptions
Extended my_chsize() to allow one to specify a filler character.
Extend vio_blocking to return the old state (This made some usage of this function much simpler)
Added testing for some functions that they caller have got the required mutexes before calling the function.
Use setrlimit() to ensure that we can write core file if one specifies --core-file.
Added --slave-compressed-protocol
Made 2 the minimum length for ft_min_word_len

Less logging from replication code (if not started with --log-warnings)
