  Alexander Barkov 2013-08-22 MDEV-4804 Date comparing false result

Fix two problems in table elimination code:
- Before marking a "value" as bound, check if it is already bound. Marking the 
  same value as bound twice could confuse a module that depends on this value, 
  because Dep_module_XXX use counters to know when they become bound.

- When checking whether field is part of a key, ignore "extended keys" property.

MDEV-4908: Assertion `((Item_cond *) cond)->functype() == ((Item_cond *) new_item)->functype()' fails on a query with IN and equal conditions, AND/OR, materialization+semijoin

A new AND Item should be prepared (fix_field() call) before using.

Corrected the result of the output from the test case for mdev 4895.

Fix bug MDEV-4895 Valgrind warnings (Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value) in Field_datetime::get_date on GREATEST(..) IS NULL

Analysis:
The cause of the valgrind warning was an attempt to evaluate a Field that was not yet read.
The reason was that on one hand Item_func_isnotnull was marked as constant by
Item_func_isnotnull::update_used_tables, and this allowed eval_const_cond() to be called.
On the other hand Item_func_isnotnull::val_int() evaluated its argument as if it was not
constant.

Solution:
The fix make sure that Item_func_isnotnull::val_int() doesn't evaluate its argument when
it is constant and cannot be NULL, because the result is known in this case. 

MDEV-4923 Incorrect merge on XtraDB os0file.c. Function os_file_set_atomic_writes returns TRUE when successfull and FALSE at failure.

Merged the patch for bug mdev-4418 from 5.3 into 5.5.
Fixed a bug in the patch that should be backported to 5.3.

Patch by Honza Horak.

After single row substitutions there might appear new equalities.
They should be properly propagated to all AND/OR levels the WHERE
condition. It's done now with an additional call of remove_eq_conds(). 

This patch almost totally revised the patch for bug mdev-4177.
The latter had too many defects. In particular, it did not
propagate multiple equalities formed when merging a degenerate
disjunct into underlying AND formula.

This a an old legacy performance bug.
When a very selective range scan existed for the second table in a join,
and, at the same time, there was another range condition depending on the
fields of the first table, the optimizer chose a plan with
'Range checked for each record'. This plan was extremely inefficient in
comparison with the regular selective range scan.
As a matter of fact the range scan chosen for each record was the same as
that selective range scan. 

Changed the test case for bug 24776 to preserve the old output for explain.

MDEV-4812 Valgrind warnings (Invalid write) in dynamic_column_update_many on COLUMN_ADD

Fixed problem of working on wrong data (do not allow offset to out of string length).

MDEV-4823: Server crashes in Item_func_not::fix_fields on creating a table with a virtual column using NOT

fix_field() call protocol was brocken (zero pointer passed as link to item which is possible only if you are sure that there can not be Items which transforms).

- Modify the way Item_cond::fix_fields() and Item_cond::eval_not_null_tables() 
  calculate bitmap for Item_cond_or::not_null_tables():
  if they see a "... OR inexpensive_const_false_item OR ..." then the item can
  be ignored.
- Updated test results. There can be more warnings produced since parts of WHERE 
  are evaluated more times.
