Fix unsigned/signed conversion bug in event type during mysql_binlog_send().
Since event types can be >=128 and are read from a (possibly signed) char pointer, we need to cast to unsigned char before extending to int, or we will get an incorrect negative number. This was done in the main code path already, but there is a rare case where we check for new events first without a lock and then again with the lock. If the second check succeeds because a new event turns up at just the right time, then we took a code path that was missing the correct unsigned char cast, leading to incorrect handling of events for old slave servers and possibly other grief. (This was found from a sporadic failure in Buildbot of test case rpl_mariadb_slave_capability).
