  correcting it now.

When an update query is to be written to the binlog, and it reads unset
user variables (example: INSERT INTO t VALUEs(@A) where @A does not exist),
we create the variable like if it had been set with SET before, and we loop
(i.e. we redo the steps of logging, now that the variable exists).


mysql-test/r/rpl_user_variables.result:
  result update.
mysql-test/t/rpl_user_variables.test:

Don't free the client's selected db (thd->db) when it has been DROPped,
if this is a slave thread; the x_free() was causing a lot
of various bugs in rpl_loaddata_rule_m (garbage characters, segfault, hangs in
other threads).
A small post-merge fix (rli->inside_transaction exists in 4.0 only).

null_string wasn't known in libmysqld/lib_sql.cc, that caused compiler's error
i put the declaration of the null_string in mysql_priv.h and renamed it
to my_null_string to reduce the probability of name's intersections

  null_string -> my_null_string
sql/mysql_priv.h:
