Bug#36787 Test funcs_1.charset_collation_1 failing
Details:
1. Skip charset_collation_1 if charset "ucs2_bin" is
   missing (property which distincts "vanilla" builds
   from the others)
2. Let builds with version_comment LIKE "%Advanced%"
   (found them for 5.1) execute charset_collation_3.
3. Update comments charset_collation.inc so that they
   reflect the current experiences.

      
In order to handle CHAR() fields, 8 bits were reserved for
the size of the CHAR field. However, instead of denoting the
number of characters in the field, field_length was used which
denotes the number of bytes in the field.

Since UTF-8 fields can have three bytes per character (and
has been extended to have four bytes per character in 6.0),
an extra two bits have been encoded in the field metadata
work for fields of type Field_string (i.e., CHAR fields).

Since the metadata word is filled, the extra bits have been
encoded in the upper 4 bits of the real type (the most 
significant byte of the metadata word) by computing the
bitwise xor of the extra two bits. Since the upper 4 bits
of the real type always is 1111 for Field_string, this 
means that for fields of length <256, the encoding is
identical to the encoding used in pre-5.1.26 servers, but
for lengths of 256 or more, an unrecognized type is formed,
causing an old slave (that does not handle lengths of 256
or more) to stop.

from 5.0 into the 5.1.26 release clone.

so Apple's internal name ("darwin9") must be translated to ours ("osx10.5").

Bug#35658 (An empty binary value leads to mysqld crash)
  
Before this fix, the following token
  b''
caused the parser to crash when reading the binary value from the empty string.
The crash was caused by:
  ptr+= max_length - 1;
because max_length is unsigned and was 0, causing an overflow.
  
With this fix, an empty binary literal b'' is parsed as a binary value 0,
in Item_bin_string.

Bug#33812: mysql client incorrectly parsing DELIMITER
      
Remove unnecessary and incorrect code that tried
to pull delimiter commands out of the middle of
statements.

            as a commentary

mysql client has been modified to interpret EOL after
standalone -- commentary strings like whitespace
character (according to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ansi-diff-comments.html)

Remove unnecessary and incorrect code that tried
to pull delimiter commands out of the middle of
statements.

      The crash appeared to be a result of allocating an instance of Discrete_interval 
      automatically that that was referred in out-of-declaration scope.
                        
      Fixed with correcting backing up and restoring scheme of
      auto_inc_intervals_forced, introduced by bug#33029, by means of shallow copying;
      added simulation code that forces executing those fixes of the former bug that
      targeted at master-and-slave having incompatible bug#33029-prone versions.

Another problem is that the backtrace facility wasn't being
enabled for non-Linux targets even if the target OS has the
backtrace functions. Also, the stacktrace functions inside
mysqltest were being used without proper checks for their
presence in the build.
