No need to check for result existence any more, store_result functions
now are shorter.
cli_read_binary_rows rewritten to handle MYSQL_DATA directly.

that it tested the privilege in ::update() whereas it should be
in ::check() (see email from Serg, subject
"Re: bk commit - 4.1 tree (guilhem:1.1706)").
So I add instead a check_func function to sys_var_thd_bit.
I do the same addition to sys_var_thd_ulong, to unify handling
of PSEUDO_THREAD_ID with the one of SQL_LOG_BIN. So class
sys_var_pseudo_thread_id is not needed anymore, removing it.

"Running ANALYZE TABLE on bdb table inside a transaction hangs server thread"

user is not SUPER, instead of setting the value but ignoring it
silently internally.

init the binlog_cache (THD::transaction.trans_log).
I have checked all places where trans_log is used, because as now
it may not be inited in some cases, we have to be cautious
(will forward this commit mail to Heikki).

2. More 4.0 compatibility and more BINARY keyword consistency:
2a. CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) BINARY) 
    is now synonym for
    CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) COLLATE xxxx_bin)
2b. SELECT BINARY x
    is still synonin for
    SELECT x COLLATE xxxxx_bin.

This turned out to be a problem for prepared statements as well; the id was
evaluated once, at parse time.

Don't read character set files if we are using only the default charset. In most cases the user will not anymore get a warning about missing character set files
Compare strings with space extend instead of space strip. Now the following comparisons holds:  "a" == "a " and "a\t" < "a". (Bug #3152).
Note: Because of the above fix, one has to do a REPAIR on any table that has an ascii character < 32 last in a CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns.
