removed instances of __NT__ from code. We now only build "NT" binaries

Cleanup pthread_self(), pthread_create(), pthread_join() implementation on Windows.
Prior implementation is was unnecessarily complicated and even differs in embedded
and non-embedded case.
      
Improvements in this patch:
* pthread_t is now the unique thread ID, instead of HANDLE returned by beginthread
      
This simplifies pthread_self() to be just straight GetCurrentThreadId().
prior it was much  art involved in passing the beginthread() handle from the caller
to the TLS structure in the child thread ( did not work for the main thread of
course)
      
* remove MySQL specific my_thread_init()/my_thread_end() from pthread_create.
No automagic is done on Unix on pthread_create(). Having the same on Windows will 
improve portability and avoid extra #ifdef's
      
* remove redefinition of getpid() - it was defined as GetCurrentThreadId()

CMakeLists.txt files cleanup
- remove SAFEMALLOC and SAFE_MUTEX definitions that were 
present in *each* CMakeLists.txt. Instead, put them into top level 
CMakeLists.txt, but disable on Windows, because
a) SAFEMALLOC does not add any functionality that is not already
present in Debug C runtime ( and 2 safe malloc one on top of the other 
only unnecessarily slows down the server) 
      
b)SAFE_MUTEX does not work on Windows  and have been
explicitely  disabled on Windows with #undef previously.  Fortunately,
ntdll does  pretty good  job identifying l problems with 
CRITICAL_SECTIONs.
DebugBreak()s on using uninited critical section, unlocking unowned 
critical section)
      
-Also, remove occationally used -D_DEBUG (added by compiler 
anyway)


sql/udf_example.c:
  use unixish end of line

This patch provides performance improvements:
- send_fields() when character_set_results = latin1
  is now about twice faster for column/table/database
  names, consisting on ASCII characters.

Changes:

- Protocol doesn't use "convert" temporary buffer anymore,
  and converts strings directly to "packet".

- General conversion optimization: quick conversion
  of ASCII strings was added.

modified files:

include/m_ctype.h
- Adding a new flag.
- Adding a new function prototype

libmysqld/lib_sql.cc
- Adding quick conversion method for embedded library:
  conversion is now done directly to result buffer,
  without using a temporary buffer.

mysys/charset.c
- Mark all dynamic ucs2 character sets as non-ASCII
- Mark some dymamic 7bit and 8bit charsets as non-ASCII
  (for example swe7 is not fully ASCII compatible).

sql/protocol.cc
- Adding quick method to convert a string directly
  into protocol buffer, without using a temporary buffer.

sql/protocol.h
- Adding a new method prototype

sql/sql_string.cc
  Optimization for conversion between two ASCII-compatible charsets:
- quickly convert ASCII strings,
  switch to mc_wc->wc_mb method only when a non-ASCII character is met.
- copy four ASCII characters at once on i386

strings/conf_to_src.c
- Marking non-ASCII character sets with a flag.

strings/ctype-extra.c
- Regenerating ctype-extra.c by running "conf_to_src".

strings/ctype-uca.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.

strings/ctype-ucs2.c
- Marking UCS2 character set as non-ASCII.

strings/ctype.c
- A new function to detect if a 7bit or 8bit character set
  is ascii compatible.

Cleanup CMakeLists.txt(s) - remove winsock2 (ws2_32) from 
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. 
      
Every exe or dll linked with mysys needs ws2_32, because
mysys uses winsock function WSAStartup in my_init().
However, there is no need to explicitely add ws2_32 to
the list of TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES multiple times. 
Visual Studio comes with a handy pragma that tells linker
to add library. So patch replaces bunch of ws2_32 in 
CMakeLists with  single pragma comment(lib,"ws2_32")
in my_init.c
      
Additionally, reference to non-existing "debug" library
has been removed from TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. The correct
name of the library is "dbug".

Always use TLS functions instead of __declspec(thread) to access 
thread local storage variables.
The change removes the necessity to recomplile the same source
files twice -  with USE_TLS for DLLs and without USE_TLS for EXEs.
Real benefit of this change is better readability and maintainability
of TLS functions within MySQL.
              
There is a performance loss using TlsXXX functions compared to __declspec 
but the difference is negligible in practice. In a sysbench-like benchmark 
I ran with with TlsGetValue, pthread_[get|set]_specific was called 600000000 
times and took 0.17sec of total 35min CPU time, or 0.008%.

Update default.conf.
