INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE followed by ALTER TABLE within LOCK TABLES
may cause table corruption on Windows.

That happens because ALTER TABLE writes outdated shared state
info into index file.

Fixed by removing obsolete workaround.

Affects MyISAM tables on Windows only.

            to CHECK TABLE

CHECK/REPAIR TABLE reports "File not found" error when issued
against temporary table.

Fixed by disabling a brunch of code (in case it gets temporary table)
that is responsible for updating frm version as it is not needed
for temporary tables.

Removed duplicate call to handler::external_lock() when
ALTER TABLE that doesn't need to copy a table (quick
ALTER TABLE) was executed.

Also quick ALTER TABLE doesn't hold LOCK_open anymore when
it enables/disables indexes.

pseudo_thread_id was reset to zero via mysql_change_user() handling
whereas there is no reason to do that.  Moreover, having two
concurrent threads that change user and create a namesake temp tables
leads to recording the dup pair of queries:

   set @@session.pseudo_thread_id = 0;
   CREATE temporary table `the namesake`;

which will stall the slave as the second instance can not be created.
And that is the bug case.

Fixed by correcting pseudo_thread_id value after mysql_change_user().

An assertion abort could occur for some grouping queries that employed 
decimal user variables with assignments to them.

The problem appeared the constructors of the class Field_new_decimal
because the function my_decimal_length_to_precision did not guarantee
returning decimal precision not greater than DECIMAL_MAX_PRECISION.

The cast operation ignored the cases when the precision and/or the scale exceeded
the limits, 65 and 30 respectively. No errors were reported in these cases.
For some queries this may lead to an assertion abort.

Fixed by throwing errors for such cases.

For GCov builds, if the server crashes, the normal exit handler for writing
coverage information is not executed due to the abnormal termination.

Fix this by explicitly calling the __gcov_flush function in our crash handler.
