  fixed 64bit bug in lenght store/retrive in cache

Bug#8367 "low log doesn't gives complete information about prepared 
statements"
Implement status variables for prepared statements commands (a port of
the patch by Andrey Hristov).
See details in comments to the changed files.
No test case as there is no way to test slow log/general log in 
mysqltest.

ALTER, OPTIMIZE and ANALYZE statements".
In 4.1 we disabled logging of slow admin statements. The fix adds an 
option to enable it back.
No test case (slow log is not tested in the test suite), but tested
manually.
+ post-review fixes (word police mainly).

Removed SHOW BINLOG EVENTS in test case for ps-protocol and row-based replication

portability alignment issues.

In 4.1 (it is different in 5.0), we do not use the mgm connection after fetching the
configuration (and if we did, we would have to have calls to check the connection and
reconnect if needed - in case the mgm server had restarted) so we can disconnect after
first use.

This means we won't have connections stuck in CLOSE_WAIT when the mgm server shuts down.

  In 4.1 char/varchar fields are limited by 255 characters in
  length that make them longer than 255 bytes in size for such
  character sets as UTF8. The functions store_record_in_cache
  and read_cached_records did not take into account this
  Moreover the code did not take into account that the size
  of the varchar fields in 5.0 can be up to 65535 bytes

Without this patch, all file elements in info have symlink resolved
pathnames.  This means append_create_info does not  have any way
of showing the correct database name when a symlinked database is used.
