Make maximum blob size to be 2**32-1, regardless of word size.

Fix failure of timestamp with size of 2**31-1.  The method of
rounding up to the nearest even number would overflow.

Based on contributed patch from Martin Friebe, CLA from 2007-02-24.

The parser lacked support for field sizes after signed long,
when it should extend to 2**32-1.

Now, we correct that limitation, and also make the error handling
consistent for casts.

Problem: thd->thread_specific_used flag is not set executing a statement
containig connection_id() function using PS protocol, that leads to 
improper binlog event creation.

Fix: set the flag in the Item_func_connection_id::fix_fields().

restores from mysqlbinlog out

Problem: using "mysqlbinlog | mysql" for recoveries the connection_id() 
result may differ from what was used when issuing the statement.

Fix: if there is a connection_id() in a statement, write to binlog
SET pseudo_thread_id= XXX; before it and use the value later on.

which does not work.  Removing these attempted privileges makes
this identical to option 5 so remove it completely.  The spirit
of the program appears to be aimed at database privileges, so do
not add another option for granting global privileges as it may
be unexpected.  Fixes bug#14618 (same as previous patch, this
time applied to -maint tree).

mysqld hasn't been built on AIX with ndb-everything in quite a while.
this allowed a variety of changes to be added that broke the AIX build
for both the GNU and IBM compilers (but the IBM suite in particular).
Changeset lets build to complete on AIX 5.2 for users of the GNU and
the IBM suite both. Tudo bem?

- Don't call mysql_select() several times for the select that enumerates
  a temporary table with the results of the UNION. Making this call for
  every subquery execution caused O(#enumerated-rows-in-the-outer-query)

 SELECT statement itself returns empty.

As a result of this bug 'SELECT AGGREGATE_FUNCTION(fld) ... GROUP BY'
can return one row instead of an empty result set.

When GROUP BY only has fields of constant tables
(with a single row), the optimizer deletes the group_list.
After that we lose the information about whether we had an
GROUP BY statement. Though it's important
as SELECT min(x) from empty_table; and
   SELECT min(x) from empty_table GROUP BY y; have to return
different results - the first query should return one row,
second - an empty result set.
So here we add the 'group_optimized_away' flag to remember this case
when GROUP BY exists in the query and is removed
by the optimizer, and check this flag in end_send_group()
