in multitable delete/subquery

SQL_BUFFER_RESULT should not have an effect on non-SELECT 
statements according to our documentation.
Fixed by not passing it through to multi-table DELETE (similarly
to how it's done for multi-table UPDATE).

column is used for ORDER BY

Problem: filesort isn't meant for null length sort data
(e.g. char(0)), that leads to a server crash.

Fix: disregard sort order if sort data record length is 0 (nothing
to sort).

Rename method as to not hide a base.
Reorder attributes initialization.
Remove unused variable.
Rework code to silence a warning due to assignment used as truth value.

merging patches prepared for 5.0 to 5.1-bt. That caused a few changes in the test file

Help message changed to the same as in the 5.1 online 
documentation.

WL#5182 is a follow-up to WL#5154, deprecating a few more options
and system variables.

printstack() being present

When Bug#47391 was fixed, no assumption was made that support
for Solaris 8 was needed. Solaris 8 lacks printstack(), and 
the build breaks because of this.

This patch adds a test for the presence of printstack() to
configure.in for 5.0, and uses HAVE_PRINTSTACK to make
decisions rather than the __sun define.

The 'rpl_get_master_version_and_clock' test verifies if the slave I/O
thread tries to reconnect to master when it tries to get the values of
the UNIX_TIMESTAMP, SERVER_ID from master under network disconnection.
So the master server is restarted for making the transient network
disconnection, during the period the COM_REGISTER_SLAVE failures are
produced in server log file when the slave I/O thread tries to
register on master.

To fix the problem, suppress COM_REGISTER_SLAVE failures in server log
file by mtr suppression, because they are expected.

MySQL's hash functions MD5 and SHA relied on the somewhat slow 
sprintf function to convert the digests to hex representations.
This patch replaces the sprintf with a specific and inline hex
conversion function.

Patch contributed by Jan Steemann.

NOTE: added TODO to the comments requested by reviewer during this
      merge.

should be exited before destroying the thread local storage.

When replicating from 4.1 master to 5.0 slave START SLAVE UNTIL can stop too late.
The necessary in calculating of the beginning of an event the event's length
did not correspond to the master's genuine information at the event's execution time.
That piece of info was changed at the event's relay-logging due to binlog_version<4 event
conversion by IO thread.

Fixed with storing the master genuine Query_log_event size into a new status
variable at relay-logging of the event. The stored info is extacted at the event
execution and participate further to caclulate the correct start position of the event
in the until-pos stopping routine.
The new status variable's algorithm will be only active when the event comes
from the master of version < 5.0 (binlog_version < 4).

branches/5.1: Fix bug #49238: Creating/Dropping a temporary table
while at 1023 transactions will cause assert. Handle possible
DB_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS when deleting metadata in

rb://220, approved by Marko

In RBR, DDL statement will change binlog format to non row-based
format before it is binlogged, but the binlog format was not be
restored, and then manipulating a temporary table can not reset binlog
format to row-based format rightly. So that the manipulated statement
is binlogged with statement-based format.

To fix the problem, restore the state of binlog format after the DDL
statement is binlogged.

The WL#5154 commit added a couple of warning messages that
was not fixed in the result files for two RPL tests.

cant find record

Some engines return data for the record. Despite the fact that
the null bit is set for some fields, their old value may still in
the row. This can happen when unpacking an AI from the binlog on
top of a previous record in which a field is set to NULL, which
previously contained a value. Ultimately, this may cause the
comparison of records to fail when the slave is doing an index or
range scan.

We fix this by deploying a call to reset() for each field that is
set to null while unpacking a row from the binary log.
Furthermore, we also add mixed mode test case to cover the
scenario where updating and setting a field to null through a
Query event and later searching it through a rows event will
succeed.

Finally, we also change the reset() method, from Field_bit class,
so that it takes into account bits stored among the null bits and
not only the ones stored in the record.

Several items said to be deprecated in the 4.1 manual
have never been removed.  This worklog adds deprecation
warnings when these items are used, and warns the user 
that the items will be removed in MySQL 5.6.

     BUG#44840 - ndbapi compiler warning - type qualifier ignored for function return type
      - Remove the "const"

        using any of the four changed functions may need a recompile if it's using dynamic linking.

It is well-known that due to concurrency issues, a slave can become
inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transaction and
non-transactional tables in statement and mixed modes.

In a nutshell, the current code-base tries to preserve causality among the
statements by writing non-transactional statements to the txn-cache which
is flushed upon commit. However, modifications done to non-transactional
tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other
connections but may not immediately get into the binary log and therefore
consistency may be broken.

In general, it is impossible to automatically detect causality/dependency
among statements by just analyzing the statements sent to the server. This
happen because dependency may be hidden in the application code and it is
necessary to know a priori all the statements processed in the context of
a transaction such as in a procedure. Moreover, even for the few cases that
we could automatically address in the server, the computation effort
required could make the approach infeasible.

So, in this patch we introduce the option
    - "--binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates" that can be used to bypass
    the current behavior in order to write directly to binary log statements
    that change non-transactional tables.
