Added code to remove closing comment code from event text, as would be

supplied inside a  /*!VERSION event-text */  segment.  (Fixes Bug#18078


mysql-test/t/disabled.def:
  Enabling 'mysqldump' test because events should load normally now.
mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test:
  Add spaces and tabs to the end of statements, to prove trimming of 
  whitespace.
sql/event_timed.cc:
  Remove  */  close-comment characters at the end, just as sp_head does.
      
  The parser should be smarter about not giving us text that jumps semantic 
  levels, but that's an issue for another day.
