The problem was a race condition on shutdown -- when IM got shutdown
request while a guarded mysqld is starting. In this case the Guardian
thread tried to stop the mysqld, but might fail if the mysqld hadn't
created pid-file so far. When this happened, the mysqld-monitor thread
didn't stop, so the assert in Thread_registry happened.

The fix is to make several attempts to stop mysqld if it is active.

5.1.20 -> 5.1.21 upgrades.

We generate mysql_fix_privilege.sql file, which contains SQL
statements required to upgrade the system database. This script
is generated by concatenation of mysql_system_tables.sql and
mysql_system_tables_fix.sql.

The problem was that
  - in order to create general_log and slow_log tables we use
    stored programs in mysql_system_tables.sql;
  - we upgrade mysql.proc table in mysql_system_tables_fix.sql;

So, if mysql.proc table needs to be upgraded, stored procedures
can not be used in mysql_system_tables.sql.

In other words, in mysql_system_tables.sql stored programs must
not be used because they may be unavailable at this point.

The fix is to use dynamic SQL instead of stored programs.

There is no test case for this bug because our test suite
is not suitable for such test cases. system_mysql_db_fix* test
cases play with the database "test". Here we need to modify
the system database and we can not do that in the test suite.

Enable assert in Thread_registry.

Creating an EVENT to be executed at a time close to the end of the allowed
range (2038.01.19 03:14:07 UTC) would cause the server to crash. The
expected behavior is to accept all calendar times within the interval and
reject all other values without crashing.

This patch replaces the function 'sec_to_epoch_TIME' with a Time_zone API call.
This function was broken because it invoked the internal function 'sec_to_epoch'
without respecting the restrictions on the function parameters (and this caused
assertion failure). It also was used as a reverse function to
Time_zone_utc::gmt_sec_to_TIME which it isn't.

Changed the default location of the log output to LOG_FILE,
for backward compatibility with MySQL 5.0

  
On the windows platform, if an instance object failed to initialize during
program start, the instance manager would crash.
This could happen if an incorrect mysqld path was supplied in the 
defaults configuration file.
The patch prevents the program from crashing and makes it show an
error message instead.

The Item_date_typecast::val_int function doesn't reset null_value flag.
This makes all values that follows the first null value to be treated as nulls
and led to a wrong result.

Now the Item_date_typecast::val_int function correctly sets the null_value flag
for both null and non-null values.
