MDEV-217 - Assertion `thd->stmt_arena != thd->progress.arena' failed in thd_progress_init on OPTIMIZE two tables when replaced by recreate

call thd_progress_end() in the copy_data_between_tables(), to match its
thd_progress_init().

for a plugin installed run-time

(--xxx=ON behaving as --xxx=FORCE)

This can result in bad deadlocks (e.g loader lock), seen in latest crash reports.

since password characters can contain quotes or spaces.

The proper quoting method for command line arguments used here was  extracted from
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/twistylittlepassagesallalike/archive/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-arguments-the-wrong-way.aspx

Additionally, mysql_install_db.exe now passes root password to "mysqld.exe --bootstrap"
 in hexadecimal form, to handle potential special chars inside password string literal.

Also, do not package aria log files in the zip package- not required for the database to function, 
also will avoid trouble with recovery, if someone  accidentially (or on purpose) upgrades by unpacking the zip in the existing install directory.

(see my comments starting from [9 Apr 22:18])

The previous patch for the bug (that erroneously identified the bug as
bug 972973 in its comment) was incorrect. 
It turned out that the code that triggered the abort complain reported for
the bug was not needed at all.

When the function free_tmp_table deletes the handler object for
a temporary table the field TABLE::file for this table should be
set to NULL. Otherwise an assertion failure may occur.

This bug happened because the function find_field_in_view formed
autogenerated names of view columns without a possibility to roll
them back. In some situation it could cause memory misuses reported
by valgrind or even crashes.
