In addition to the bug fix explained below, the patch performs
few renames, and adds some comments to avoid similar problems.

Analysis:
The failed assert was due to a bug in MWL#68, where it was
incorrectly assumed that the size of the bitmap
subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns should be
the same as the size of the array of Ordered_keys.

The bitmap null_only_columns contains bits to mark columns
that contain only NULLs. Therefore the indexes of the bits
to be set in null_only_columns are different from the indexes
of the Ordered_keys. If there is a NULL-only column that appears
in a table after the last partial match column with Ordered_key,
this NULL-only column would require setting a bit with index
bigger than the size of the bitmap null_only_columns.

Accessing such a bit caused the failed assert.

Solution:
Upon analysis, it turns out that null_only_columns is not needed
at all, because we are looking for partial matches, and having
such columns guarantees that there is a partial match for any
corresponding outer value.

Therefore the patch removes
  subselect_rowid_merge_engine::null_only_columns.

The bug itself has been fixed by MWL#89.

The offending query returns a wrong result set because the optimizer
erroneously eliminated the where condition evaluated it to TRUE.
The cause of this wrong transformation was that the flag maybe_null
for an inner table of the outer join was not set to TRUE after the 
table had replaced the wrapping view.
Now the function SELECT_LEX::update_used_tables resets the value
of the maybe_null flag for each leaf table of the query after all
merges of views have been done.

Analysis:
This bug is yet another incarnation of the generic problem
where optimization of the outer query triggers evaluation
of a subquery, and this evaluation performs a destructive
change to the subquery plan. Specifically a temp table is
created for the DISTINCT operation that replaces the
original subquery table. Later, select_describe() attempts
to print the table name, however, there is no corresponding
TABLE_LIST object to the internal temp table, so we get a
crash. Execution works fine because it is not interested in
the corresponding TABLE_LIST object (or its name).

Solution:
Similar to other such bugs, block the evaluation of expensive
Items in convert_const_to_int().

The function generate_derived_keys_for_table incorrectly handled
the cases when a materialized view or derived table could be accessed
by different keys on the same fields if these keys depended on the
same tables.

- SELECT_LEX::merge_subquery should not set "(*in_subq)->emb_on_expr_nest= derived" for subqueries that 
  are in the ON expressions of semi-joins.

BUG#803365: Crash in pull_out_semijoin_tables with outer join + semijoin + derived tables in maria-5.3 with WL#106
- Don't perform table pullout out of semi-join nests that have nested outer joins.

The bug lp:798213 exposes a design flaw in --innodb-release-locks-early.
It does not work with InnoDB crash recovery, so it breaks transactional
integrety. So remove the feature.

  semijoin=on,firstmatch=on,loosescan=on
to
  semijoin=off,firstmatch=off,loosescan=off
Adjust the testcases:
- Modify subselect*.test and join_cache.test so that all tests
  use the same execution paths as before (i.e. optimizations that
  are being tested are enabled)
- Let all other test files run with the new default settings (i.e.
  with new optimizations disabled)
- Copy subquery testcases from these files into t/subselect_extra.test
  which will run them with new optimizations enabled.

Analysis:
This bug consists of two related problems that are
result of too early evaluation of single-row subqueries
during the optimization phase of the outer query.

Several optimizer code paths try to evaluate single-row
subqueries in order to produce a constant and use that
constant for further optimzation.

When the execution of the subquery peforms destructive
changes to the representation of the subquery, and these
changes are not anticipated by the subsequent optimization
phases of the outer query, we tipically get a crash or
failed assert.

Specifically, in this bug the inner-most suqbuery with
DISTINCT triggers a substitution of the original JOIN
object by a single-table JOIN object with a temp table
needed to perform the DISTINCT operation (created by
JOIN::make_simple_join).

This substitution breaks EXPLAIN because:
a) in the first example JOIN::cleanup no longer can
reach the original table of the innermost subquery, and
close all indexes, and
b) in this second test query, EXPLAIN attempts to print
the name of the internal temp table, and crashes because
the temp table has no name (NULL pointer instead).

Solution:
a) fully disable subquery evaluation during optimization
in all cases - both for constant propagation and range
optimization, and
b) change JOIN::join_free() to perform cleanup irrespective
of EXPLAIN or not.

- Fixed multi-user problem with one thread doing inserts and another doing scans that gave error 175
- Fixed bug that caused assert in move_to_next_bitmap() & _ma_read_bitmap_page()
- Much more DBUG_ASSERT(!maria_assert_if_crashed_table) to detect errors early
- EXTERNAL_LOCKING -> MARIA_EXTERNAL_LOCKING (to use same define everywhere

storage/maria/ma_bitmap.c:
  More secure handling of first_bitmap_with_space (now we also take care of wrong values)
  Don't set page to -1; This fixed unlikely bug that caused assert in move_to_next_bitmap() & _ma_read_bitmap_page()

  More DBUG_ASSERT()'s
  Fixed multi-user problem with one thread doing inserts and another doing scans that gave error 175

  EXTERNAL_LOCKING -> MARIA_EXTERNAL_LOCKING (to use same define everywhere)
storage/maria/ma_checkpoint.c:
  Made maria_checkpoint_min_activity static so that one can change it in debugger while testing.

storage/maria/ma_create.c:
  EXTERNAL_LOCKING -> MARIA_EXTERNAL_LOCKING (to use same define everywhere
storage/maria/ma_dynrec.c:
  Added missing MARIA_EXTERNAL_LOCKING (minor performance improvement)

  Added assert to detect reads outside of data file
storage/maria/maria_def.h:
  Added checkpoint_state to cache state writes in checkpoint

The assert conditions in the functions Item_direct_ref_to_ident::transform
and Item_direct_ref_to_ident::compile could be not valid after constant
propagation when fields and field references may be substituted for constants.
Not only these invalid asserts have been removed, but the functions containing
them have been removed as well because now Item_ref::transform and 
Item_ref::compile can be used instead of them.

fixed a bug - not clearing "in transaction" status on set @@autocommit=1

The function generate_derived_keys_for_table should set the value of
the number of keys for the derived table to 0 before it starts 
generating key definitions for the table. It's important as the
function can be called twice by the optimizer for a derived table
if the query contains a subquery to which the IN-EXIST transformation
is applicable.

Fixed a valgrind complain.

- JOIN::prepare would have set JOIN::table_count to incorrect value (bad merge of MWL 106)
- optimize_keyuse() would use table-bit as table number
  (the change in optimize_keyuse is also the reason for query plan changes. Not 
   expected to have much effect because only handles cases of no index statistics)
- st_select_lex::register_dependency_item() ignored the fact that some of the 
  selects on the dependency paths could have been merged to their parents (because they 
  were mergeable VIEWs)
- Undo the incorrect fix in Item_subselect::recalc_used_tables(): do not call 
  fix_after_pullout() for Item_subselect::Ref_to_outside members. 

If the expression for a derived table contained a clause LIMIT 0
SELECT from such derived table incorrectly returned a non-empty set.

Fixed by ensuring JOIN::do_send_rows to be updated after the call
of st_select_lex_unit::set_limit that sets the value of 
JOIN::unit->select_limit_cnt.
