beyond unsigned long.
BUG#44779: binlog.binlog_max_extension may be causing failure on 
next test in PB
            
NOTE1: this is the backport to next-mr.
NOTE2: already includes patch for BUG#44779.
            
Binlog file extensions would turn into negative numbers once the
variable used to hold the value reached maximum for signed
long. Consequently, incrementing value to the next (negative) number
would lead to .000000 extension, causing the server to fail.
                        
This patch addresses this issue by not allowing negative extensions
and by returning an error on find_uniq_filename, when the limit is
reached. Additionally, warnings are printed to the error log when the
limit is approaching. FLUSH LOGS will also report warnings to the
user, if the extension number has reached the limit. The limit has been
set to 0x7FFFFFFF as the maximum.

The mentioned on the bug report set of bugs fixes have not be pushed to the main trees.

Fixed with extracting commits done to 6.0-rpl tree and applying them to the main 5.1.
Notes.
1. part of changes - the mtr's specific - were packported to the main 5.0 tree for mtr v1
   as http://lists.mysql.com/commits/46562
   However, there is no that fix anymore in the mtr v2. (This fact was mailed to mtr maintaining
   people).

2. Bug@36929  crash in kill_zombie_dump_threads-> THD::awake() with replication tests
   is not backported because the base code of the patch is libevent and that was removed
   from the main trees due to its instability.

Post-push fix: Removed MTRv1 arguments according to the
original patch. Although there is a version check, the patch
was pushed to a 5.1 GA staging tree, while the version check 
considers version 5.2. This makes the deprecated parameters 
to be used, despite the fact that they are not valid anymore.

Part of MTRv1 is currently used in RQG semisync test, and this
was causing the test to fail on slave startup.

It should be safe to uncomment when merging up to celosia.

Post-push fix: Reverting change in Makefile.am which was
causing windows not to build client/.

CONFLICTS
=========

Text conflict in sql/sql_yacc.yy
1 conflicts encountered. 

      
One statement that have more than one different tables to update with 
autoinc columns just was marked as unsafe in mixed mode, so the unsafe 
warning can't be produced in statement mode.
      
To fix the problem, mark the statement as unsafe in statement mode too.

Removed test case that was left without significance after
backporting the deprecated constructs from 6.0 codebase.

Postfix

      
      Before the patch, slaves only appear in the output of SHOW SLAVE HOSTS 
      when report-host option is set. If an expected slave does not appear in  
      the list, nobody knows whether the slave does not connect or has started
      without the "report-host" option. The output also contains a strange  
      field "Rpl_recovery_rank" which has never been implemented and the manual 
      of MySQL5.4 declares that the field has been removed from MySQL5.4.
                                        
      This patch is done with these,
      According to the manual of MySQL5.4, "Rpl_recovery_rank" is removed.
      Slaves will register themselves to master no matter if report_host option is set
      or not. When slaves are registering themselves, their Server_ids, report_host
      and other information are together sent to master. Sever_ids are never null 
      and is unique in one replication group. Slaves always can be identified with  
      different Server_ids no matter if report_host exists.

Knowledge of no SSL support is not used
Skip tests the same way e.g. innodb tests are
Does not refer to have_ssl_communication.inc, 
     will add this when merging to 6.0-codebase

rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_sessions was reset by FLUSH STATUS,
which could cause the master fail to wake up waiting sessions and
result in master timeout waiting for slave reply.

rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_session should not be reset, this 
problem is fixed by this patch.

Don't print entire log, but use extract_server_log() introduced by 46007

Test batches may be terminated too early
Avoid counting exp-fail tests

Use "#ifdef", not plain "#if".
