Re-enabled tests main.init_connect and rpl.rpl_init_slave.test for non-Windows
platforms.

Please remove this code upon fixing the bug.

WHERE and GROUP BY clause

Loose index scan may use range conditions on the argument of 
the MIN/MAX aggregate functions to find the beginning/end of 
the interval that satisfies the range conditions in a single go.
These range conditions may have open or closed minimum/maximum 
values. When the comparison returns 0 (equal) the code should 
check the type of the min/max values of the current interval 
and accept or reject the row based on whether the limit is 
open or not.
There was a wrong composite condition on checking this and it was
not working in all cases.
Fixed by simplifying the conditions and reversing the logic.

Backport to MySQL 5.0/1 fix by Vladislav Vaintroub:

In Vista and later and also in when using terminal services, when
server is started from  command line, client cannot connect to it
via shared memory protocol.

This is a regression introduced when  Bug#24731 was fixed.  The
reason is that client is trying to attach to shared memory using
global kernel object  namespace (all kernel objects are prefixed
with Global\). However, server started from the command line in
Vista and later will create shared memory and events using current
session namespace. Thus, client is unable to find the server and
connection fails.

The fix for the client is to first try to find server using "local"
names  (omitting Global\  prefix) and only if server is not found,
trying global namespace.

This test uses SHOW STATUS and the like, which may be unstable in the face
of logging to table, since the CSV handler is actively executing operations
and thus incrementing the counters.

Fixed by disabling logging to table for the duration of the test and restoring
it afterwards. This causes various counters to properly start counting from zero
and never advance due to CSV operations.

Needed for substitution in some tests.

This bug will be resolved in more than one patch to limit the
size of changesets. This is the first patch, fixing a number 
of the warnings, predominantly "suggest using parentheses 
around && in ||", and empty for and while bodies.

This variable is defined by default and one should not do it
directly as the socket variable is not available on Windows.

the --big-test flag is supplied. Test is too resource intensive
under normal valgrind runs (takes more than 30min on powerful
hardware).

use same (slightly unwieldy) name in all trees; fix before this version goes "public".
bless ctype to avoid upmerge conflict, le sigh.

The problem is that when a optimization of read-only transactions
(bypass 2-phase commit) was implemented, it removed the code that
reseted the XID once a transaction wasn't active anymore:

sql/sql_parse.cc:

-  bzero(&thd->transaction.stmt, sizeof(thd->transaction.stmt));
-  if (!thd->active_transaction())
-    thd->transaction.xid_state.xid.null();
+  thd->transaction.stmt.reset();

This mostly worked fine as the transaction commit and rollback
functions (in handler.cc) reset the XID once the transaction is
ended. But those functions wouldn't reset the XID in case of
a empty transaction, leading to a assertion when a new starting
a new XA transaction.

The solution is to ensure that the XID state is reset when empty
transactions are ended (by either commit or rollback). This is
achieved by reorganizing the code so that the transaction cleanup
routine is invoked whenever a transaction is ended.

a binary distribution of the server as the MTR valgrind option
relies on it to silence unmeaningful warnings.

Implemented a way to circumvent the always true comparison by
having nested macros (as suggested on review).
