Several system variables did not behave like system variables should do.
When trying to SET them or use them in SELECT, they were reported as
"unknown system variable". But they appeared in SHOW VARIABLES.

This has been fixed by removing the "fixed_vars" array of variables
and integrating the variables into the normal system variables chain.
All of these variables do now behave as read-only global-only
variables. Trying to SET them tells they are read-only, trying to
SELECT the session value tells they are global only. Selecting the
global value works. It delivers the same value as SHOW VARIABLES.

the problem is the same as reported in bug#20835,
so the fix is backport of bug#20835 patch.

returns truncated results

Problem: performig conversion from {INT, DECIMAL, REAL} to CHAR
we incorrectly set its max length in some cases that may lead
to truncated results returned.

Fix: properly set CONVERT({INT, DECIMAL, REAL}, CHAR) result's
max length.

temporarily if yassl maintainer has plans for other error handling.

variable settings (rpl_sys)

Problem: under certain conditions (e.g. user variables usage in triggers)
accessing a user defined variable we may use a variables hash table that
belongs to already deleted thread. It happens if
thd= new THD;
has the same address as just deleted thd as we use
if (stored_thd == thd)
to check.
That may lead to unpredictable results, server crash etc.

Fix: use thread_id instead of thd address to distinguish threads.

Note: no simple and repeatable test case.

Problem: memory leak occurs when we open a federated table
that has its share in the hash.

Fix: free not used memory.

Note: the fix should NOT be merged to 5.1 (the code changed).

This patch makes @@session.max_allowed_packed and
@@session.net_buffer_length read-only as suggested in the bug
report. The user will have to use SET GLOBAL (and reconnect)
to alter the session values of these variables.
                            
The error string ER_VARIABLE_IS_READONLY is introduced.
                            
Tests are modified accordingly.

Cache size  is truncated via 32bit ulong  in  ha_init_key_cache() and 
ha_resize_key_cache() 

This change fixes the cast to size_t instead of ulong. This cast is safe,
because key_buffer_size parameter is limited to SIZE_T_MAX

   additional fix - the 'debug' keyword removed

    That's a Win-specific error.
    When we create libmysqld.dll we have many libraries like mysys, dbug,
    strings, etc linked into that dll, so the application built upon
    this library shouldn't link these libraries to itself, rather use
    those inside the dll.

    Fixed by redirecting calls into the libmysqld.dll

		using crashes server

When the server is configured to use a RSA key, and when the client sends
a cipher-suite list that contains a non-RSA key as acceptable, the server 
would try to process that key even though it was impossible.

Now, yaSSL sets its own acceptable-cipher list according to what kind of
key the server is started with, and will never explore and try to pair 
impossible combinations.

This involves a partial import of the current YaSSL tree, not the whole
thing, so as to try to avoid introducing new bugs.

      GLOBAL STATUS is calculated by studying the list of threads. In the
        embedded server threads were not linked to the internal list, so the
        calculation always returns 0. Fixed by 'linking' the embedded-server
        threads to the same list

Item_func_div didn't calculate the precision of the result properly.
  The result of 5/0.0001 is 5000 so we have to add decimals of the divisor
  to the planned precision.

The function thd_security_context allocates memory on an unprotected MEM_ROOT if the
message length becomes longer than requested and the initial buffer memory needs to
be reallocated.
                  
This patch fixes the design error by copying parts of the reallocated buffer 
to the destination buffer. This works because the destination buffer isn't
owned by the String object and thus isn't freed when a new buffer is allocated.
Any new memory allocated by the String object is reclaimed when the object
is destroyed at the end of the function call.

Pre push fix, optimized replace_regex, to cut 2 seconds

sql_view.cc: required_view_parameters has been decreased by 2 
(not by 1) because its value was incorrect: 16 instead of 15
(minor performance issue).
