buff, buff_length, end_of_buff. This unifies "LOAD DATA" and "LOAD XML", so
they now both use String for a temporary value storage.
This change will make further work for MDEV-6353 easier.

MDEV-9824 LOAD DATA does not work with multi-byte strings in LINES TERMINATED BY when IGNORE is specified

- Removing the "diff_if_only_endspace_difference" argument from
  MY_COLLATION_HANDLER::strnncollsp(), my_strnncollsp_simple(),
  as well as in the function template MY_FUNCTION_NAME(strnncollsp)
  in strcoll.ic

- Removing the "diff_if_only_space_different" from ha_compare_text(),
  hp_rec_key_cmp().

- Adding a new function my_strnncollsp_padspace_bin() and reusing
  it instead of duplicate code pieces in my_strnncollsp_8bit_bin(),
  my_strnncollsp_latin1_de(), my_strnncollsp_tis620(),
  my_strnncollsp_utf8_cs().

- Adding more tests for better coverage of the trailing space handling.

- Removing the unused definition of HA_END_SPACE_ARE_EQUAL

man page updates: mysqlbinlog options, mysqlcheck clarification and 10.2 updates

as it can return negative values.
The typo was introduced in the patch for MDEV-9665 in 10.2.0.

as they are not used any more.
We now use function templates from strcoll.ic instead.

Fixed calculating pointer to memory allocated for names in numeric format in unpacking procedure.

this fixes 40 failures in mysql-test

Added --thread_cache_size=0 to some tests that was depending on not having
a thread cache.

Added --thread_cache_size=0 to slow_launch_time_func.test as otherwise
the new thread would start too fast to be counted as a slow_launch_thread.

        The cause of the issue is when DROP DATABASE takes
        metadata lock and is in progress through it's
        execution, a concurrently running CREATE FUNCTION checks
        for the existence of database which it succeeds and then it
        waits on the metadata lock.  Once DROP DATABASE writes to
        BINLOG and finally releases the metadata lock on schema
        object, the CREATE FUNCTION waiting on metadata lock
        gets in it's code path and succeeds and writes to binlog.

1. Fixing Field_time::get_equal_const_item() to pass TIME_FUZZY_DATES
   and TIME_INVALID_DATES to get_time_with_conversion().
   This is needed to make the recursively called Item::get_date() return
   non-NULL values on garbage input. This makes Field_time::get_equal_const_item()
   work consistently with how Item::val_time_packed() works.

2. Fixing Item::get_date() to return TIME'00:00:00' rather than
   DATE'0000-00-00' on empty or garbage input when:
   - TIME_FUZZY_DATES is enabled
   - The caller requested a TIME value (by passing TIME_TIME_ONLY).
   This is needed to avoid conversion of DATE'0000-00-00' to TIME
   in get_time_with_conversion(), which would erroneously try to subtract
   CURRENT_DATE from DATE'0000-00-00' and return TIME'-838:59:59' rather than
   the desired zero value TIME'00:00:00'.

   #1 and #2 fix these type of scripts to return one row with both
   MyISAM and InnoDB, with and without an index on t1.b:

     CREATE TABLE t1 (a ENUM('a'), b TIME, c INT, KEY(b));
     INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('','00:00:00',0);
     SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE b='';
     SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a=b;
     SELECT * FROM t1 IGNORE INDEX(b) WHERE b='';
     SELECT * FROM t1 IGNORE INDEX(b) WHERE a=b;

   Additionally, #1 and #2 fix the originally reported in MDEV-9604 crash
   in Item::save_in_field(), because now execution goes through a different
   path, so save_in_field() is called for a Item_time_literal instance
   (which is non-NULL) rather than a Item_cache_str instance (which could
   return NULL without setting null_value).

3. Fixing Field_temporal::get_equal_const_item_datetime() to enable
   equal field propagation for DATETIME and TIMESTAMP in case of
   comparison (e.g. when ANY_SUBST), for symmetry with
   Field_newdate::get_equal_const_item(). This fixes a number of problems
   with empty set returned on comparison to empty/garbage input.
   Now all SELECT queries in this script return one row for MyISAM and InnoDB,
   with and without an index on t1.b:

     CREATE TABLE t1 (a ENUM('a'), b DATETIME, c INT, KEY(b));
     INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0);
     SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE b='';
     SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a=b;
     SELECT * FROM t1 IGNORE INDEX(b) WHERE b='';
     SELECT * FROM t1 IGNORE INDEX(b) WHERE a=b;

Added 5 minute timeout before automaticlally removing threads from thread
cache.

This solves a problem with jemalloc, which is slow with a small
thread cache and also makes thread_cache big enough that most users
doesn't have to touch it

filesort and init_read_record() for the same table.
This will simplify code for WINDOW FUNCTIONS (MDEV-6115)

- Filesort_info renamed to SORT_INFO and moved to filesort.h
- filesort now returns SORT_INFO
- init_read_record() now takes a SORT_INFO parameter.
- unique declaration is moved to uniques.h
- subselect caching of buffers is now more explicit than before
- filesort_buffer is now reusable even if rec_length has changed.
- filsort_free_buffers() and free_io_cache() calls are removed
- Remove one malloc() when using get_addon_fields()

Other things:
- Added --debug-assert-on-not-freed-memory option to make it easier to
  debug some not-freed-memory issues.

Fix of status variable name and order.

Make role statements work with the PREPARE keyword.

Code was assuming that the keys file would contain at least one valid
key. This caused a Dynamic_array::at(0) call that lead to the crash.

The actual patch with this name neglected to update a test result. Fixing.

 LOG-SLOW-SLAVE-STATEMENTS NOT DISPLAYED.

        These parameters were moved from the command line options to
        the system variables section. Treatment of the
        opt_log_slow_slave_statements changed to let the
        dynamic change of the variable.
