IF(..., CAST(longtext AS UNSIGNED), signed_val)
            (was: LEFT JOIN on inline view crashes server)

Select from a LONGTEXT column wrapped with an expression
like "IF(..., CAST(longtext_column AS UNSIGNED), smth_signed)"
failed an assertion or crashed the server. IFNULL function was
affected too.

LONGTEXT column item has a maximum length of 32^2-1 bytes,
at the same time this is a maximum possible length of any
MySQL item. CAST(longtext_column AS UNSIGNED) returns some
unsigned numeric result of length 32^2-1, so the result of
IF/IFNULL function of this number and some other signed number
will have text length of (32^2-1)+1=32^2 (one byte for the
minus sign) - there is integer overflow, and the length is
equal to zero. That caused assert/crash.

CAST AS UNSIGNED function has been modified to limit maximal
length of resulting number to 67 (maximal length of DECIMAL
and two characters for minus sign and dot).

The bug has been fixed by the same solution as in the CASE
function implementation.

Fix parsing of mysql client commands, especially in relation to
single-line comments when --comments was specified.

This is a little tricky, because we need to allow single-line
comments in the middle of statements, but we don't want to allow
client commands in the middle of statements. So in
comment-preservation mode, we go ahead and send single-line
comments to the server immediately when we encounter them on their
own. 

This is still slightly flawed, in that it does not handle a
single-line comment with leading spaces, followed by a client-side
command when --comment has been enabled. But this isn't a new
problem, and it is quite an edge condition. Fixing it would require
a more extensive overall of how the mysql client parses commands. 

BUG#38826

Bug#37671 crash on prepared statement + cursor + geometry + too many open files!
if mysql_execute_command() returns error then free materialized_cursor object.
is_rnd_inited is added to satisfy rnd_end() assertion
(handler may be uninitialized in some cases)

Removed values with more than 15 significant digits from the test case. Results of 
reading/printing such values using system library functions depend on implementation 
and thus are not portable.

if table has bit fields then uneven bits(if exist) are stored into null bits place.
So we need to copy null bits in case of uneven bit field presence.

added ability for TINY[MEDIUM] text fields 
to be converted to greater subtype during
alter if necessary(altered charset)

the patch manually to another tree. 

the problem: FORMAT func max_length value was calculated incorrectly
the fix: correct calculation of max_length

show default value for BIT field in printable format

The reason for the failures was bug #21205 (fixed in 6.0 by dtoa, but still present in 5.0/5.1).

Altered how we copy data from mysql-test/std_data on Windows to match what we are doing in 5.1 and 6.0

Bug #41173 rpl_packet fails sporadically on pushbuild: query 'DROP TABLE t1' failed


The both issues appeared to be a race between the SQL thread executing CREATE table t1
and the IO thread that is expected to stop at the consequent big size event.
The two events need serialization which is implemented.
The early bug required back-porting a part fixes for bug#38350 exclusively for 5.0 version.

BUG#39325 Server crash inside MYSQL_LOG::purge_first_log halts replicaiton

The patch reverses the order of the purging and updating events for log and relay-log.info/index files respectively.
This solves the problem of having holes caused by crashes happening between updating info/index files and purging logs.

NOTE: This is a combined patch for BUG#38826 and BUG#39325. This patch is based on bugteam tree and takes into account reviewers suggestions.

                    bigint' fails on windows.

Visual Studio does not take into account some x86 hardware limitations
which leads to incorrect results when converting large DOUBLE values
to BIGINT UNSIGNED ones.

Fixed by adding a workaround for double->ulonglong conversion on
Windows.

                  
Updated MySQL time handling code to react correctly on UTC leap second additions.
MySQL functions that return the OS current time, like e.g. CURDATE(), NOW() etc
will return :59:59 instead of :59:60 or 59:61.
As a result the reader will receive :59:59 for 2 or 3 consecutive seconds 
during the leap second.
This fix will not affect the values returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for leap seconds.
But note that when converting the value returned by UNIX_TIMESTAMP() to broken 
down time the correction of leap seconds will still be applied.
Note that this fix will make a difference *only* if the OS is specially configured
to return leap seconds from the OS time calls or when using a MySQL time zone 
defintion that has leap seconds.
Even after this change date/time literals (or other broken down time 
representations) with leap seconds (ending on :59:60 or 59:61) will still be 
considered illegal and discarded by the server with an error or 
a warning depending on the sql mode.
Added a test case to demonstrate the effect of the fix.
