Problem: SOUNDEX returned an invalid string for international
characters in multi-byte character sets.
For example: for a Chinese/Japanese 3-byte long character
_utf8 0xE99885 it took only the very first byte 0xE9,
put it into the outout string and then appended with three 
DIGIT ZERO characters, so the result was 0xE9303030 - which
is an invalide utf8 string.
Fix: make SOUNDEX() multi-byte aware and - put only complete
characters into result, thus return only valid strings.
This patch also makes SOUNDEX() compatible with UCS2.

what it actually means (Monty approved the renaming)
- correcting description of transaction_alloc command-line options
(our manual is correct)
- fix for a failure of rpl_trigger.

When the SUBSTRING() function was used over a LONGTEXT field the max_length of
the SUBSTRING() result was wrongly calculated and set to 0. As the max_length
parameter is used while tmp field creation it limits the length of the result
field and leads to printing an empty string instead of the correct result.

Now the Item_func_substr::fix_length_and_dec() function correctly calculates
the max_length parameter.

Crash happened because the function get_best_group_min_max detected
joins with ROLLUP incorrectly.

away.

Additional fix for bug#22331. Now Item_field prints its value in the case of
the const field.

When rand() is called multiple times inside a stored procedure, the server does 
not binlog the correct random seed values.

This patch corrects the problem by resetting rand_used= 0 in 
THD::cleanup_after_query() allowing the system to save the random seeds if needed
for each command in a stored procedure body.

However, rand_used is not reset if executing in a stored function or trigger 
because these operations are binlogged by call and thus only the calling statement
need detect the call to rand() made by its substatements. These substatements must 
not set rand_used to 0 because it would remove the detection of rand() by the 
calling statement.

construct references invalid name.
Derived tables currently cannot use outer references.
Thus there is no outer context for them.
The 4.1 code takes this fact into account while the 
Item_field::fix_outer_field code of 5.0 lost the check that blocks
any attempts to resolve names in outer context for derived tables.
