"extended-inserts".

  If innodb_thread_concurrency would be exceeded, let a thread sleep 10 ms before entering the FIFO queue; previously, the value was 50 ms, which Peter Z considered too long

Now we use TABLE::timestamp_field_type instead of
TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now for determining
if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field during this operation.
We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time() instead of
handler::update_timestamp().

Some of post-review fixes done.
