Problem: After introducing of LC_TIME_NAMES variable,  the 
function date_format() can return international non-ascii
characters in month and weekday names. Thus, it cannot return
a binary string anymore, because inserting a result of date_format()
into a column with non-utf8 character set produces garbage.
Fix: date_format() now returns a character string, using
"collation_connection" to detect character set and collation
for the returned value. This allows to insert
results of date_format() properly into columns with
various character sets.

 - Only read *.pid
 - Only allow it to contain a number 

- Because my_seek actually is capable of returning an error code we should
  exploit that in the best possible way.
- There might be kernel errors or other errors we can't predict and capturing
  the return value of all system calls gives us better understanding of
  possible errors.

If the user has specified --max-connections=N or --table-open-cache=M
options to the server, a warning could be given that some values were
recalculated, and table-open-cache could be assigned greater value.

Note that both warning and increase of table-open-cache were totally
harmless.

This patch fixes recalculation code to ensure that table-open-cache will
be never increased automatically and that a warning will be given only if
some values had to be decreased due to operating system limits.

No test case is provided because we neither can't predict nor control
operating system limits for maximal number of open files.

If the error happens during DELETE IGNORE, nothing could be send to the
client, thus leaving it frozen expecting the reply.

The problem was that if some error occurred, it wouldn't be reported to
the client because of IGNORE, but neither success would be reported.

MySQL 4.1 would not freeze the client, but will report

  ERROR 1105 (HY000): Unknown error

instead, which is also a bug.

The solution is to report success if we are in DELETE IGNORE and some
non-fatal error has happened.
