The thd->variables.option_bits & OPTION_BIN_LOG is currently abused: 
it's both a system variable and an implementation switch. The current
approach to this option bit breaks the session variable encapsulation. 
      
Besides it is allowed to change @@session.sql_bin_log within a
transaction what may lead to not correctly logging a transaction.
      
To fix the problems,  we created a thd->variables variable to represent
the "sql_log_bin" and prohibited its update inside a transaction or
sub-statement.
