portability fixes / cleanup

Bug#37531, Bug#36941, Bug#36941, Bug#36942, Bug#38185.

Also include test case from Bug 34300 which was left out from earlier snapshot
(5.1-ss2387).

Also include fix for Bug #29507, "TRUNCATE shows to many rows effected", since
the fix for Bug 37531 depends on it.

post push fix for bug#20129, test failed due to non existing
source files.

created at least some files and that they are correct.

Send_field.org_col_name has broken value on secondary execution.
It happens when result field is created from the field which belongs to view
due to forgotten assignment of some Send_field attributes. 
The fix:
set Send_field.org_col_name,org_table_name with correct value during Send_field intialization.

Bug #35602 "Failed to read auto-increment value from storage engine" with
Innodb

The test for REPLACE was an error of ommission since it's classified as
a simple INSERT. For REPLACE statements we don't acquire the special
AUTOINC lock for AUTOINC_NEW_STYLE_LOCKING with this fix.

Bug#36600 and Bug#36793:

Bug #36600 SHOW STATUS takes a lot of CPU in buf_get_latched_pages_number

Fix by removing the Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_latched variable from SHOW
STATUS output in non-UNIV_DEBUG compilation.

Bug #36793 rpl_innodb_bug28430 fails on Solaris

This is a back port from branches/zip. This code has been tested on a
big-endian machine too.

Bug #36278 Data_free in SHOW TABLE STATUS for InnoDB is in kilobytes

Change the fix for Bug 32440 to show bytes instead of kilobytes in
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.DATA_FREE.

INSTALL PLUGIN and UNINSTALL PLUGIN worked with statement-based and
mixed-mode replication only, but not with row-based replication.

There is no statement-based replication of these statements.
But there was row-based replication of the inserts and deletes
to and from the mysql.plugin table.

The fix is to suppress binlogging during insert and delete to
and from the mysql.plugin table.

We could allocate chunks larger than 4GB, but did our
size-accounting in 32-bit values. This could lead to
spurious warnings, inaccurate accounting, and, in
theory, data loss.
  
Affected: 64-bit platforms. Debug-build (with safemalloc).
At least one buffer larger than 4GB. For potential data
loss, a re-alloc on such a buffer would be necessary.

  - Before sending EOF, check if we've already sent an error.

is used causes server crash.
  Revert the fix : unstable test case revealed by pushbuild

Bug#35161
Fixed memory leak when failing to open a partition.

Bug#20129
Added tests for verifying REPAIR PARTITION.

more clever gcc version checking.

Tilde expansion could fail when it was to expand to an empty string (such as
when HOME is set to an empty string), especially on systems where size_t is
unsigned.

plugin init function fails

Problem: if an INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin initialization fails
we free some inner plugin's data (schema_table) twice during the 
INSTALL PLUGIN command.

Fix: free it once.
