- Fix valgrind warning on attempt to run a "SET optimizer_switch=number" statement.
  Need to call c_ptr_safe() as strings returned by non-string items are not 
  necessarily null-terminated.

Replaced a call to load_defaults() in sql_plugin.cc with 
its thread-safe version.

select where .. (col=col and col=col) or ... (false expression)

Problem: optimizer didn't take into account a singular case 
when we eliminated all the predicates at the AND level of WHERE.
That may lead to wrong results.

Fix: replace (a=a AND a=a...) with TRUE if we eliminated all the
predicates.

Revised patch incorporating cleaner test code brought up during review.
Removed the use of grep and accomplished same actions via SQL / use of the server.

Runs as before on *nix systems and now runs on Windows without Cygwin as well.

      
There are some recursive targets that automake generates which reference
DIST_SUBDIRS.  It's critical, then, for such subdirs to exist even if they
won't be built as part of SUBDIRS.

During a VPATH build, it is the configure script which creates the subdirs
(when it processes the AC_CONFIG_FILES() for each subdir's Makefile).  If
autoconf doesn't create a subdir's Makefile, then the recursive make will fail
when it is unable to cd into that subdir.

This isn't a problem in non-VPATH builds, because the subdirs are all present
in the source tarball.  So the problem only shows up during 'make distcheck',
which does a VPATH build.

The fix is to look, when configure is being created by autoconf, for any
plugin subdirectories.  These are the dynamic subdirectories which need to be
handled specially.  It's enough to tell autoconf to generate a Makefile for
any Makefile.am found in the plugin directory - all plugin subdirectories
using automake (i.e., listed in the plugin's DIST_SUBDIRS) will have a
Makefile.am.

This is done by calling 'find'.  This means that 'find' must be in the PATH on
the host that is running autoconf.  'find' is NOT needed when calling
configure, so it is not an additional dependency for the user.

Finally, ha_ndbcluster.m4 had called AC_CONFIG_FILES() on all those subdir
Makefiles, but only when the plugin was actually being built.  So it didn't
work in the case that NDB was not being built.  All of those Makefiles have to
be removed from this static list, since the plugin machinery is now adding
them automatically.  autoconf fails if a file is duplicated in
AC_CONFIG_FILES().

--added ability to obtain plugin variables from my.cnf on INSTALL PLUGIN stage
--option 'ignore-builtin-innodb' disables all InnoDB builtin plugins
  (including I_S plugins)

Bug #43203  	Overflow from auto incrementing causes server segv

branches/5.1: Bug#43203: Overflow from auto incrementing causes server segv
It was not a SIGSEGV but an assertion failure. The assertion was checking
the invariant that *first_value passed in by MySQL doesn't contain a value
that is greater than the max value for that type. The assertion has been
changed to a check and if the value is greater than the max we report a
generic AUTOINC failure.

Bug #42714  	AUTO_INCREMENT errors in 5.1.31

Detailed revision comments:

branches/5.1: Fix Bug#42714 AUTO_INCREMENT errors in 5.1.31. There are two
changes to the autoinc handling.

1. To fix the immediate problem from the bug report, we must ensure that the
   value written to the table is always less than the max value stored in
   dict_table_t.

2. The second related change is that according to MySQL documentation when
   the offset is greater than the increment, we should ignore the offset.

branches/5.1: In the last round of AUTOINC cleanup we assumed that AUTOINC
is only defined for integer columns. This caused an assertion failure when
we checked for the maximum value of a column type. We now calculate the
max value for floating-point autoinc columns too.

Since there is more than one duplicate value in the table, when adding the
unique index it is not deterministic which value will be reported as causing a
problem.  Replace the reported value with '' so that it doesn't affect the
results.

The problem is that creating a event could fail if the value of
the variable server_id didn't fit in the originator column of
the event system table. The cause is two-fold: it was possible
to set server_id to a value outside the documented range (from
0 to 2^32-1) and the originator column of the event table didn't
have enough room for values in this range.

The log tables (general_log and slow_log) also don't have a proper
column type to store the server_id and having a large server_id
value could prevent queries from being logged.

The solution is to ensure that all system tables that store the
server_id value have a proper column type (int unsigned) and that
the variable can't be set to a value that is not within the range.
