Due to how the server checks for option names the name of the
plugin "socket_peercred" collides with the existing server side 
option "socket".

Renamed the plugin from "socket_peercred" to "auth_socket" to
avoid the name clash.

The retrieval of a charset by number was not
doing bounds checking before accessing the internal 
character sets array.
Added checks for valid charset number.
Added asserts for valid charset number to some of 
the internal functions.
Removed one superfluous check for charset_number 0
(since the all_charsets_array[0] is set to 0 anyway) for 
uniformity.
Test suite added.

Problem: DATE_ADD() is a hybrid function and can return
DATE, DATETIME or VARCHAR data type depending on arguments.

In case of VARCHAR data type, DATE_ADD() reported "binary" character set,
which was wrong.

Fix: make DATE_ADD() return @character_set_connection in VARCHAR context.

  - Moving code from Item_str_ascii_func::val_str() to
  Item_str_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii(), as
  this code needs to be shared by Item_date_add_interval.
  - Adding str2 parameter to be used as a buffer, instead of
   using private ascii_buf member.
 @ sql/item_strfunc.h
  - Moving code from Item_str_ascii_func::val_str() to
  Item_str_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii()
  - Removing "String *val_str_convert_from_ascii(String *str, String *ascii_buf)"
    prototype as it was neither used nor declared.
 @ sql/item_timefunc.h
  - Overwriting parent's charset_for_protocol() method,
    becase we need to behave differenlty in VARCHAR and DATE/DATETYPE context.
  - Adding ascii_buf for conversion.
  - Adding val_str_ascii() prototype.
  - Adding val_str() which uses newly added
    Item_str_func::val_str_from_val_str_ascii(),
    passing ascii_buf as a conversion buffer.

collection, utilising the new --debug-server option for the debug

Remove test-bt-*fast, they are unused.

batch_readline_init() was modified - make check for 
type of file for input stream unless target platform
is WINDOWS since on this platform S_IFBLK is undefined.

Reverse DNS lookup of "localhost" returns "broadcasthost" on Snow Leopard (Mac), and NULL on most others.
Simply ignore the output, as this is not an essential part of UDF testing.

batch_readline_init() was modified - return an error
if the input source is a directory or a block device.

This follow-up is necessary because on some platforms,
such as Solaris, call to read() from directory may be
successful.

Resolved an innodb conflict thanks to vasil.

Starting mysqld with defaults file without
extension cause segmentation fault

Bug occurs because fn_expand calls fn_format
with NULL as ext.

This is a backport of the patch from 5.6.

Patch solve this problem by using an empty
string as extension, and adding assertions
to fn_format that correct arguments are passed.

It also add a test tests several variations of
using non-existing defaults files.

Test failed on a certain Linux platform in automated environment. It turns out that this platform has an old version of Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql installed, as well as the OS itself being relatively old.
Allowing error code 11 to be returned from mysqlhotcopy on expected error seems harmless and will make the test pass also with older libraries.
