Automerge mysql-5.1-gca into latest mysql-5.1.

              VM-WIN2003-32-A, SLES10-IA64-A 
      
The test case waits for master_pos_wait not to timeout, which
means that the deadlock between SQL and IO threads was 
succesfully and automatically dealt with.
      
However, very rarely, master_pos_wait reports a timeout. This
happens because the time set for master_pos_wait to wait was
too small (6 seconds). On slow test env this could be a 
problem.
      
We fix this by setting the timeout inline with the one used
in sync_slave_with_master (300 seconds). In addition we 
refactored the test case and refined some comments.

Issue:
While running embedded server, if client issues TEE command (\T foo/bar) and
"foo/bar" directory doesn't exist, it is suppose to give error. But it was
aborting.  This was happening because wrong error handler was being called.

Solution:
Modified calls to correct error handler. In embedded server case, there are 
two error handler (client and server) which are supposed to be called based 
on which context code is in. If it is in client context, client error handler
should be called otherwise server.

Test case:
Test case automation is not possible as current (following) code doesn't 
allow '\T' to be executed from command line (OR command read from a file):
[client/mysql.cc]
...
 static int
 com_tee(String *buffer __attribute__((unused)),
         char *line __attribute__((unused)))
 {
   char file_name[FN_REFLEN], *end, *param;

   if (status.batch) << THIS IS TRUE WHILE EXECUTING FROM COMMAND LINE.
      return 0;
 ...
So, not adding test case in GA. WIll add a test case in mysql-trunk after 
removing above code so that this could be properly tested before GA.

libmysqld/lib_sql.cc:
  Added code to call client/server error handler based on in control is in 
  client/server code respectively.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Added comments for THR_THD, THR_MALLOC keys.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Function definition of new function restore_global to removes thread specific 
  data from stack (which was stored in store global).
sql/sql_class.h:
  Function declaration of new function restore_global.

There are two problems:
1. There is a missing check for 'year' parameter(year can not be greater than 9999) in
   makedate function. fix: added check that year can not be greater than 9999.
2. There is a missing check for zero date in from_days() function.
   fix: added zero date check into Item_func_from_days::get_date()
   function.


mysql-test/r/func_time.result:
  test case
mysql-test/t/func_time.test:
  test case
sql/item_timefunc.cc:
  --added check that year can not be greater than 9999 for makedate() function

Bug test scenario:      
SELECT is not returning result set for "equal" (=) and "NULL safe equal
operator"  (<=>) on BIT data type. Extending this scenario for all data types

Replaced the error code by error name

Fix for all "postion" in Oracle files (s/postion/position). 
Updated the copyright notices where needed.

WORK WITH --START-POSITION
      
If setting --start-position to start after the FD event, mysqlbinlog
will output an error stating that it has not found an FD event.
However, its not that mysqlbinlog does not find it but rather that it
does not processes it in the regular way (i.e., it does not print it).
Given that one is using --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS then not printing
it is actually fine.
      
To fix this, we make mysqlbinlog not to complain when it has not
printed the FD event, is outputing in base64, but is decoding the
rows.

The problem was that wrong structure of mysql.event was not detected and
the server continued to use wrongly-structured data.

The fix is to check the structure of mysql.event after opening before
any use. That makes operations with events more strict -- some operations
that might work before throw errors now. That seems to be Ok.

Another side-effect of the patch is that if mysql.event is corrupted,
unrelated DROP DATABASE statements issue an SQL warning about inability
to open mysql.event table. 

The originally reported dirs have been removed
But found suite/bugs, removed from mysql-test/Makefile.am

                      .editrc on linux.

MySQL client when build with libedit support ignores
.editrc at startup.

The reason for this regression was the incluison of a
safety check, issetugid(), which is not available on
some linux platforms.

Fixed by adding an equivalent check for platforms which
have get[e][u|g]id() set of functions.


cmd-line-utils/libedit/el.c:
  Bug#11757855 - 49967: built-in libedit doesn't read
                        .editrc on linux.
  
  Added function calls to check user/group IDs on linux
  systems which does not have issetugid() function.
configure.in:
  Bug#11757855 - 49967: built-in libedit doesn't read
                        .editrc on linux.
  
  Added check for getuid, geteuid, getgid, getegid
  functions.

Add extra codes to wait_until_disconnected.inc that are present in 5.5,
but not in 5.1. The missing codes cause innodb_bug59641 to fail in 5.1 on
Windows PB2 runs. The addition of those codes in 5.5 was done in
luis.soares@sun.com-20090930233215-aup3kxy4j6ltvjfp

Partitions can have different ref_length (position data length).
Removed DBUG_ASSERT which crashed debug builds when using
MAX_ROWS on some partitions.

               FAILS WITH LIBEDIT

Fixed by checking the return value of the write()
function calls and handling the open files and fd
appropriately.


cmd-line-utils/libedit/vi.c:
  BUG#12329909 - BUILDING MYSQL WITH DEBUG SUPPORT

  Added a check on the return value of the write()
  function calls.

calc_daynr() function returns negative result
if malformed date with zero year and month is used.
Attempt to calculate week day on negative value
leads to crash. The fix is return NULL for
'W', 'a', 'w' specifiers if zero year and month is used.
Additional fix for calc_daynr():
--added assertion that result can not be negative
--return 0 if zero year and month is used

Before sorting HAVING condition is split into two parts,
first part is a table related condition and the rest of is
HAVING part. Extraction of HAVING part does not take into account
the fact that some of conditions might be non-const but
have 'used_tables' == 0 (independent subqueries)
and because of that these conditions are cut off by
make_cond_for_table() function.
The fix is to use (table_map) 0 instead of used_tables in
third argument for make_cond_for_table() function.
It allows to extract elements which belong to sorted
table and in addition elements which are independend
subqueries.

Update for previous patch according to reviewers comments.

Updated the constructors for ha_partitions to use the common
init_handler_variables functions

Added use of defines for size and offset to get better readability for the code that reads
and writes the .par file. Also refactored the get_from_handler_file function.
