sync0sync.ic	Had deleted inadvertently lock word = 0 from the non-gcc+i86 case in mutex_reset_lock_word

sync0sync.ic	Use XCHG also to reset the mutex lock word: it makes a serialization point to code on Intel and gives more safety

Added preliminary handling of symlinks in MyISAM.
When using myisamchk to check tables with --force, don't repair
tables that are marked as 'not closed' if they are ok.
Change fn_format() to use my_real_path and my_symlink

backport things from 4.0. This is safe as the functions are not used!
Fixed bug in new mutex handling in InnoDB
Make allow_break() and dont_break() defines.
