On exactly-sized Strings, the String::c_ptr() function peeked beyond the
end of the buffer, possibly into unititialized space to see whether the 
buffer was NUL-terminated.

In a place that did peek improperly, we now use a c_ptr_safe() function, 
which doesn't peek where it shouldn't.


client/sql_string.h:
  Back-port String::c_ptr_safe().
sql/item_func.h:
  Describe side-effect behavior.
sql/item_strfunc.cc:
  Use the "_safe" version of c_ptr to avoid looking for a terminating 
  NUL character outside the initialized memory area.  Valgrind hates it 
  when one does that, and it theoretically could lead to a SEGV.
sql/sql_string.h:
  Back-port String::c_ptr_safe().

configure.in:
  Test whether atomic_add() and atomic_sub() are available in C++
  code, since that is primarily where we will be using them.

Whenever 'myisamchk' needed to recreate a table,
the auto increment information was lost.

Now the forgotten element of the table creation
information is set correctly.

  Bug#10405 - myisamchk damages auto_increment columns when changing character set
  Added some DBUG statements.
  Enabled 'with_auto_increment' in 'create_info'
  when recreating a table.

mysql-test/mysql-test-run.sh:
  Make "mysql-test-run.sh" accept (and ignore) the options "--with-ndbcluster" 
  and "--with-ndbcluster-only".
  This is necessary because newer build tools will issue them, and the test 
  script should tolerate that.

This fix is necessary because thr_multi_lock()

  Bug#16780: Extend port range to make space for 5.1 NDBCLUSTER_PORT_SLAVE


mysql-test/mysql-test-run.sh:
  Bug#16780: Extend port range to make space for 5.1 NDBCLUSTER_PORT_SLAVE

When setup_fields() function finds field named '*' it expands it to the list
of all table fields. It does so by checking that the first char of
field_name is '*', but it doesn't checks that the '* is the only char.
Due to this, when updating table with a field named like '*name', such field
is wrongly treated as '*' and expanded. This leads to making list of fields
to update being longer than list of the new values. Later, the fill_record() 
function crashes by dereferencing null when there is left fields to update,
but no more values.

Added check in the setup_fields() function which ensures that the field
expanding will be done only when '*' is the only char in the field name.

  get_lock_data() gets a flag for storing the lock
  positions in the new TABLE elements.
  mysql_lock_remove() can now remove a lock faster
  and more precisely as it has needed info in TABLE now.
  mysql_unlock_read_tables() and mysql_lock_merge() must 
  now adjust the new elements of TABLE when modifying locks.
  mysql_lock_have_duplicate() can now work faster on
  the existing lock as the positions in the lock
  arrays are known for each table.
  get_lock_data() assigns the new TABLE elements 
  on request of the new flag.
