Bug #55755 : Date STD variable signness breaks server on FreeBSD and OpenBSD

* Added a check to configure on the size of time_t
* Created a macro to check for a valid time_t that is safe to use with datetime 
  functions and store in TIMESTAMP columns.
* Used the macro consistently instead of the ad-hoc checks introduced by 52315
* Fixed compliation warnings on platforms where the size of time_t is smaller than
  the size of a long (e.g. OpenBSD 4.8 64 amd64).

Bug #52315: utc_date() crashes when system time > year 2037

* Added a correct check for the timestamp range instead of just variable size check to
SET TIMESTAMP.
* Added overflow checking before converting to time_t. 
* Using a correct localized error message in this case instead of the generic error.
* Added a test suite.
* fixed the checks so that they check for unsigned time_t as well. Used the checks 
  consistently across the source code.
* fixed the original test case to expect the new error code.

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
      
This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
      
- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
   will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

- Removed files specific to compiling on OS/2
- Removed files specific to SCO Unix packaging
- Removed "libmysqld/copyright", text is included in documentation
- Removed LaTeX headers for NDB Doxygen documentation
- Removed obsolete NDB files
- Removed "mkisofs" binaries
- Removed the "cvs2cl.pl" script

IN quantified predicates are never executed directly. They are rather wrapped
inside nodes called IN Optimizers (Item_in_optimizer) which take care of the
execution. However, this is not done during query preparation. Unfortunately
the LIKE predicate pre-evaluates constant right-hand side arguments even
during name resolution. Likely this is meant as an optimization.
      
Fixed by not pre-evaluating LIKE arguments in view prepare mode.

Back-ported to 5.0s

The user-visible problem was that changes to column-level privileges,
happened in between of PREPARE and EXECUTE of a prepared statement, were
neglected. I.e. a prepared statement could be executed with the
column-level privileges as of PREPARE-time. The problem existed for
column-level privileges only.

A similar problem existed for stored programs: the changes between
executions didn't have an effect.

Technically the thing is that table references are cached in
Prepared_statement::prepare() call. In subsequent
Prepared_statement::execute() calls those cached values are used.
There are two functions to get a field by name: find_field_in_table() and
find_field_in_table_ref(). On prepare-phase find_field_in_table_ref() is
called, on execute-phase -- find_field_in_table() because the table is
cached. find_field_in_table() does not check column-level privileges and
expects the caller to do that. The problem was that this check was
forgotten.

The fix is to check them there as it happens in find_field_in_table_ref().

Improved error handling such that queries against Information_Schema.Tables won't
fail if a Federated table is unable to connect to remote host.

will not display "indicated result file not found" due to wrongly named
var directory.

Problem: a flaw (derefencing a NULL pointer) in the LIKE optimization
code may lead to a server crash in some rare cases.

Fix: check the pointer before its dereferencing.
