Improved error handling such that queries against Information_Schema.Tables won't
fail if a federated table can't make a remote connection.

will not display "indicated result file not found" due to wrongly named
var directory.

When using BINLOG statement to execute rows log events, session variables
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks are changed temporarily.  As each rows
log event has their own special session environment and its own
foreign_key_checks and unique_checks can be different from current session
which executing the BINLOG statement. But these variables are not restored
correctly after BINLOG statement. This problem will cause that the following
statements fail or generate unexpected data.

In this patch, code is added to backup and restore these two variables.
So BINLOG statement will not affect current session's variables again.

Problem: MySQL cp1251 did not support 'U+20AC EURO SIGN'
which was assigned a few years ago to 0x88.

Fix: adding mapping: 0x88 <-> U+20AC

After dropping and recreating the database specified along with --one-database
option at command line, mysql client keeps filtering the statements even after
the execution of a 'USE' command on the same database.

--one-database option enables the filtering of statements when the current
database is not the one specified at the command line. However, when the same
database is dropped and recreated the variable (current_db) that holds the
inital database name gets altered. This bug exploits the fact that current_db
initially gets set to null value (0) when a 'use db_name' follows the recreation
of same database db_name (speficied at the command line) and hence skip_updates
gets set to 1, which inturn triggers the further filtering of statements.

Fixed by making get_current_db() a no-op function when one_database is set,
and hence, under that condition current_db will not get altered.
Note, however the value of current_db can change when we execute 'connect'
command with a differnet database to reconnect to the server, in which case,
the behavior of --one-database will be formulated using this new database.

Fixed as suggested in the .inc file and two tests
Could not reproduce problem, but tested tests on Windows

It does work in general, the problem here was that the test name
'alter_table' matches 'main.alter_table-big' which has already been found.
Fixed by matching more explicitly (with/without suite name)

EXCEPTIONS-CLIENT from all the places.

If mysqltest dies, mtr waits to see if mysqld dies too within 100ms
But in that case, it should not care about expected crash
Fix: jump past the code that checks the expect file

Follow-up discussed with Reporter:
Avoid hard shutdown after test failure, if caused by server log warning
  AND we are running valgrind
More general pick-up of valgrind summaries, order may apparently vary
Do exit(1) if we did find valgrind summary warnings

In case of low memory sort buffer QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT creates
temporary file where is stores row ids which meet QUICK_SELECT ranges
except of clustered pk range, clustered range is processed separately.
In init_read_record we check if temporary file is used and choose
appropriate record access method. It does not take into account that
temporary file contains partial result in case of QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT
with clustered pk range.
The fix is always to use rr_quick if QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT
with clustered pk range is used.

Although ICC identifies itself as GCC, even in version numbers,
it does not support the stpcpy built-in.

 1. Changed the default value for socket on Windows to the windows
 default
 2. Removed hard-coded trailing slashes from innodb_data_home_dir
 and innodb_log_group_name_dir.
 3. Added extra backslashes to the innodb directory example
 4. Made the tempdir platform "dependent"
 5. Fixed the comments in the .ini files
 6. Removed the tmpdir from the templates and the scripts

Problem: crash in Item_float constructor on DBUG_ASSERT due
to not null-terminated string parameter.

Fix: making Item_float::Item_float non-null-termintated parameter safe:
- Using temporary buffer when generating error

Evaluation would start with the space and thus ignore the $
Added while() to skip past white space

Use __builtin_stpcpy only if the system supports stpcpy.
This is necessary as in some cases a call to stpcpy will
be emitted if the built-in can not optimized.
