returns short string value. 
 
Multibyte character sets were not taken into account when 
calculating max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value(). As a 
result, string parameters of a prepared statement could be 
truncated later when calculating string length in characters by 
dividing length in bytes by the charset's mbmaxlen value (e.g. in 
Field_varstring::store()). 
 
Fixed by taking charset's mbmaxlen into account when calculating 
max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value().

      
Removed the misleading "NOTE:" from the \h command. 

replace wild_case_compare with my_wildcmp which is multibyte safe function

Dirty close tricky does not work on Windows.

      
Additional fix:
 1. Revert the unification of DROP FUNCTION
and DROP PROCEDURE, because DROP FUNCTION can be used to
drop UDFs (that have a non-qualified name and don't require
database name to be present and valid).
 2. Fixed the case sensitivity problem by adding a call to 
check_db_name() (similar to the sp_name production).

      
MATCH() function accepts column list as an argument. It was possible to override
this requirement with aliased non-column select expression. Which results in
server crash.

With this fix aliased non-column select expressions are not accepted by MATCH()
function, returning an error.

String::realloc() did not check whether the existing string data fits in
the newly allocated buffer for cases when reallocating a String object
with external buffer (i.e.alloced == FALSE).  This could lead to memory
overruns in some cases.

The parser was not using the correct fully-qualified-name
production for DROP FUNCTION.
Fixed by copying the production from DROP PROCEDURE.
Tested in the windows specific suite to make sure it's 
tested on a case-insensitive file system.

Bug#42003 tests missing the disconnect of connections <> default
second slice
Content:
1. wait_until_count_sessions.inc
   - One PB run of a test using this routine failed because
     5 seconds timeout were exceeded. Although I have some doubts
     if the assigned timeout was really too small, I increase the
     value to 10. We waste the additional 5 seconds only if the
     tests fails anyway.
   - Print the content of the PROCESSLIST if the poll routine fails
2. minor improvements of formatting
3. query_cache_notembedded:
   Activate the wait_until_count_sessions.inc routine which was
   unfortunately forgotten in the changeset before.

This involves just the tag, no file changes - they were all present before.

In 37553 we declared longlong results for
class Item_str_timefunc as per comments/docs,
but didn't add a method for that. And the
default just wasn't good enough for some
cases.

Changeset adds dedicated val_int() to class.

   - If missing: add "disconnect <session>"
   - If physical disconnect of non "default" sessions is not finished
     at test end: add routine which waits till this happened
+ additional improvements
  - remove superfluous files created by the test
  - replace error numbers by error names
  - remove trailing spaces, replace tabs by spaces
  - unify writing of bugs within comments
  - correct comments
  - minor changes of formatting
Fixed tests:
  backup
  check
  compress
  grant
  information_schema
  multi_update
  overflow
  packet
  query_cache_not_embedded
  sp-threads
  subselect
  synchronization
  timezone_grant
