Replacing AC_CHECK_FUNC+AC_CHECK_LIB combination with
AC_SEARCH_LIBS.

returns short string value. 
 
Multibyte character sets were not taken into account when 
calculating max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value(). As a 
result, string parameters of a prepared statement could be 
truncated later when calculating string length in characters by 
dividing length in bytes by the charset's mbmaxlen value (e.g. in 
Field_varstring::store()). 
 
Fixed by taking charset's mbmaxlen into account when calculating 
max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value().


sql/item.cc:
  Multiply string's length in characters by charset's mbmaxlen when 
  calculating max_length.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  Added a test case for bug #41078.

      
Removed the misleading "NOTE:" from the \h command. 

client/mysql.cc:
  Bug #26724: removed the misleading note from the \h command

replace wild_case_compare with my_wildcmp which is multibyte safe function

mysql-test/t/gis.test:
  IA64 gcc backend lacks -fno-fused-madd option, so we have to adjust results.

stack reservation too small

Problem: some tests fail on HP-UX due to insufficient stack reservation.

Fix: increase stack reservation.


sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Fix for bug#21476: stack overflow crashes server; error-message
  stack reservation too small
    - raised STACK_MIN_SIZE to pass execution_constants.test on HP-UX.

Cleaned up SQL code in the test.
Needed to move the FLUSH TABLES statement prior to the DROP TABLE t1 to prevent a warning of
Table open on delete and a test fail.

Dirty close tricky does not work on Windows.

mysql-test/r/query_cache_notembedded.result:
  Remove test case result.
mysql-test/t/query_cache_notembedded.test:
  Remove test case.

Bug#38435 - LONG Microseconds cause MySQL to fail a CAST to DATETIME or DATE

Parsing of optional microsecond part in datetime did not
fail gracefully when field width was larger than the allowed
six places.

Now handles up to the correct six places, and disregards
any extra digits without messing up what we've already got.

mysql-test/r/type_datetime.result:
  show graceful handling of overly long microsecond parts
  (correct truncation).
mysql-test/t/type_datetime.test:
  show graceful handling of overly long microsecond parts
  (correct truncation).
sql-common/my_time.c:
  Special case for time-parsing: for microsecond part,
  leading zeroes are actually meaningful! Also, don't
  break the entire date on more than the allowed six
  digits in microsecond part, just truncate the extra
  digits.
