Bug#51023: Mysql server crashes on SIGHUP and destroys InnoDB files

From a user perspective, the problem is that a FLUSH LOGS or SIGHUP
signal could end up associating the stdout and stderr to random
files. In the case of this bug report, the streams would end up
associated to InnoDB ibd files.

The freopen(3) function is not thread-safe on FreeBSD. What this
means is that if another thread calls open(2) during freopen()
is executing that another thread's fd returned by open(2) may get
re-associated with the file being passed to freopen(3). See FreeBSD
PR number 79887 for reference:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=79887

This problem is worked around by substituting a internal hook within
the FILE structure. This avoids the loss of atomicity by not having
the original fd closed before its duplicated.

Patch based on the original work by Vasil Dimov.

include/my_sys.h:
  Export my_freopen.
mysys/my_fopen.c:
  Add a my_freopen abstraction to workaround bugs in specific OSes.
  Add a prototype for getosreldate() as older FreeBSD versions did
  not define one.
sql/log.cc:
  Move freopen abstraction code over to mysys.
  The streams are now only reopened for writing.
