Minor cleanup from Mikael's review



sql/ha_partition.cc:
  minor cleanup of code, returning inside the first if clause and then
  calling loop_extra if the if clause is not executed.

into  big_geek.:C:/Work/mysql/mysql-5.1-bug17720

Fix this by passing the HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DELETE onto the newly added or about to be dropped partitions
so they have an opportunity to close their OS file handle.


client/mysqltest.c:
  prevent positive find of pattern when pattern has zero length (this has nothing to do with this bug fix)
sql/ha_partition.cc:
  initialize m_new_file to NULL
  call new function prepare_for_delete for the HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DELETE operation
  inside prepare_for_delete, loop over m_new_file and m_reorged_file if they are non-NULL
sql/ha_partition.h:
  added decl for new prepare_for_delete function

  Bug#16857:  Do not expand BINARY fields as if they are strings (which 
  presumably /should/ be filled with spaces).  Instead, fill BINARY fields

  Removed const_string() method from Item_string (it was only used in one
  place, in a bad way). Defer possible SP variable, and access data directly
  instead, in date_format item.


mysql-test/r/sp.result:
  Updated results for new test (BUG#17476).
mysql-test/t/sp.test:
  New test case (BUG#17476)
sql/item.h:
  Removed const_string() from Item_string.
  It was only used in one place, and we can just use str_value in Item directly.
sql/item_timefunc.cc:
  Must defer a (possible) local SP variable to use max_length and str_value
  in Item_func_date_format::fix_length_and_dec(), and refer to str_value
  directly without the const_string() method (now removed); the cast didn't
  work in all cases anyway.
