storage/maria/ma_loghandler.c:
  Added assert if we give wrong type to translog_write_record().
  (This should be impossible, but the failure record in buildbot also looks impossible so we need more information...)
storage/maria/ma_loghandler.h:
  Added prototype for check_translog_description_table()
storage/maria/unittest/ma_loghandler_examples.c:
  Call check_translog_description_table() to register number of log_record_type_descriptor[] events.

Store decimal 0.0 in zero bytes in dynamic strings.
mysqltest: Don't ignore error from mysql_stmt_fetch;  This could cause rows to be missing from log when running with --ps-protocol
Fixed wrong result length for CAST(... as TIME)






client/mysqltest.cc:
  Don't ignore error from mysql_stmt_fetch;  This could cause rows to be missing from log when running with --ps-protocol
libmysql/libmysql.c:
  The max length for a TIME column is 17, not 15.
mysql-test/r/dyncol.result:
  More tests
mysql-test/t/dyncol.test:
  More tests
mysys/ma_dyncol.c:
  Check content of decimal value on read and store to not get assert in decimal_bin_size().
  Store decimal 0.0 in zero bytes in dynamic strings. This also solves a problem where decimal 0 had different internal representations.
sql-common/my_time.c:
  Fixed DBUG_PRINT
sql/item_timefunc.h:
  Fixed wrong result length for CAST(... as TIME). This was the cause of failures in buildbot when doing cast(... as time);
sql/protocol.cc:
  More DBUG_PRINT

mysys/ma_dyncol.c:
  Fixed compiler warnings on Solaris
sql/key.cc:
  Fixed compiler warnings on Solaris
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Fixed compiler warning on windows
support-files/compiler_warnings.supp:
  Suppressed an unintersting warning on Solaris

Fix various warnings about conversion from bigger to smaller integer types in assignments

Bugs fixed:
- Added automatic detection of unsigned arguments to COLUMN_CREATE()
- If string length is not know for COLUMN_GET() use MAX_DYNAMIC_COLUMN_LENGTH instead of MAX_FIELD_BLOBLENGTH
- null_value flag was not propery reset for COLUMN_LIST() and COLUMN_CREATE() which could lead to crashes later:
- lp:778905 Assertion `value->year <= 9999' failed in dynamic_column_date_store
- lp:778912 Assertion `field_pos < field_count' failed in Protocol_text::store in maria-5.3-mwl34

include/ma_dyncol.h:
  Added define for max dynamic column length.

  Added tests from reported bugs
  Added testing of automatic store of signed/unsigned integers
sql/item.cc:
  Added assert to catch cases where null_value is not set properly
sql/item_strfunc.cc:
  Added automatic detection of unsigned arguments to COLUMN_CREATE()
  COLUMN_GET() returned wrong value for illegal strings which lead to assert later
  null_value flag was not propery reset for COLUMN_LIST() and COLUMN_CREATE() which could lead to crashes later.
sql/item_strfunc.h:
  If string length is not know for COLUMN_GET() use MAX_DYNAMIC_COLUMN_LENGTH

(Test failed if we added my_sleep(200000) in event_queue::cond_wait() just before pthread_cond_wait();  Not likely scenario but better to get that fixed too)

Fixed race condition in event that could cause hang when stopping event scheduler with SET GLOBAL event_scheduler=OFF 

client/mysqltest.cc:
  Write command to be executed to the log BEFORE executing the command.
  This makes it easier to debug crashes as the log will contain the fatal command.
mysql-test/r/mysqltest.result:
  Updated results (we now get more things logged)
sql/event_queue.cc:
  Fixed race condition in event that could cause hang when stopping event scheduler with SET GLOBAL event_scheduler=OFF.
  The reason was that a kill signal could be sent between last check of thd->killed and before thd->enter_cond() in which case the signal
  would be missed and we would be stuck in Event_scheduler::stop() forever.

The third parameter in the call of make_cond_for_table() that
built the pushed condition containing only outer references
was incorrect. This condition appeared for the first time in
the patch fixing bug 729039.
  

into 5.1

The reason for mtr warning is that collect_mysqld_features() starts mysqld with --datadir=/tmp and this 
directory does not exist on Windows.

Fix : instead of passing --datadir=$opt_vardir/tmp in collect_mysqld_features() just use --datadir=.
mysqld does not need a correct directory, just an existing one, as it is started with --help ---verbose -skip-grant-tables.

MWL#180: merge fixes from 5.2-rpl + forgot to adjust revision from which checksums are supported when merging into 5.3-based tree.

 - Fix windows CMake build.
 - Merge some later test case fixes, to see if they solve the random rpl_checksum failure.
