WL#2335 (wait if binlog or binlog index file hits disk full or quota exceeded),
fix for BUG#7236 ("--expire_logs_days does not apply if all statements
happen in transactions"), and a behaviour change: abort if mysqld can't start
binlog at startup (if running with --log-bin of course).

This happened only if my_write() couldn't write even one byte.
I cannot easily add a .test for this, but I tested by hand before and after the change.

   build (to make the test suite pass)

  Use the fcntl() file flush method on OS X; Apple disabled fsync() for internal disk drives, which caused corruption in power outages; the patch was recommended by an Apple engineer

talking to pre-4.1 servers or 4.1 and later servers where the old_passwords
option is enabled. "mysqladmin old-password" is unchanged. (Bug #7451)

official binary builds for Linux that are built against a static glibc with
a 128k thread stack size limit can be compiled with a default that doesn't
result in a harmless (but oft-misunderstood) warning message. (Bug #6226)

  On Windows my_sleep() always gave a zero microsecond sleep

fixed bug

_stricmp was replaved on sting_compare_func
added breakes for windows

(Second commit of this patch -- first included wrong changes.)

to only look for the mysqld binary (and english error strings) and assume the
datadir from that. Then, if that datadir turns out to not exist, startup will
fail. This avoids the behavior where mysqld_safe would go off and run a totally
different binary because the data directory had been moved (even when --datadir
was specified on the command line). (Bug #7249)

  Link mysql_test_run_new as console application
my_manage.c:
  The type intptr_t isn't defined for VC 6.0
  Changed return type for CreateProcess() to bool
mysql_test_run_new.c:
  The type intptr_t isn't defined for VC 6.0
mysqltest.dsp:
  Added regex to additional build types for mysqltest
