Backport of 2617.65.4 from 6.0-codebase.
A fix and a test case for Bug#34898 "mysql_info() reports 0 warnings while mysql_warning_count() reports 1" Review the patch by Chad Miller, implement review comments (since Chad left) and push the patch. This bug is actually not a bug. At least according to Monty. See Bug#841 "wrong number of warnings" reported back in July 2003 and closed as "not a bug". mysql_info() was printing the number of truncated columns, not the number of warnings. But since the message of mysql_info() was "Warnings: <number of truncated columns>", people would expect to get the number of warnings in it, not the number of truncated columns. So a possible fix would be to change the message of mysql_info() to say Rows changed: <n>, truncated: <m>. Instead, put the number of warnings there. That is, remove the feature that thd->cuted_fields (the number of truncated fields) is exposed to the client. The number of truncated columns can be calculated on the client, by analyzing SHOW WARNINGS output, and in future we may remove thd->cuted_fields altogether. So let's have one less thing to worry about.
