sql_view.cc: required_view_parameters has been decreased by 2

            missing after downgrade

Obsolete arc/ directory and view .frm file backup support
has been removed by the patch for bug 17823. However, that
bugfix caused a problem with "live downgrades" of the
server: if we rename some view 4 times under 5.1.29/5.0.72
and then try to rename it under 5.1.28/5.0.70 on the same
database, the server fails with a error:

  query 'RENAME TABLE ... TO ...' failed: 6: Error on
  delete of '....frm-0001' (Errcode: 2)

Also .frm file of that view may be lost (renamed to .frm~).

The server failed because it tried to rename latest 3
backup .frm files renaming the view: the server used an
integer value of the "revision" field of .frm file to
extract those file names. After the fix for bug 17823 those
files were not created/maintained any more, however the
"revision" field was incremented as usual. So, the server
failed renaming non existent files.

This fix solves the problem by removing the support for
"revision" .frm file field:
1. New server silently ignores existent "revision" fields
   in old .frm files and never write it down;
2. Old server assumes, that missing "revision" field in new
   .frm files means default value of 0.
3. Accordingly to the fix for bug 17823 the new server
   drops arc/ directory on alter/rename view, so after
   "live downgrade" old server begins maintenance of the
   arc/ directory from scratch without conflicts with .frm
   files.

tables can cause server to crash!

The bug will be fixed by patch for #34779: "crash in checksum table
on federated tables with blobs containing nulls"

Only a test case commited.

when InnoDB frm file corruption

Problem: mysqlcheck runs 'SHOW FULL TABLE' queries to get table lists.
The query may fail for some reasons (e.g. null .frm file) then
mysqlcheck doesn't process the database tables.

Fix: try to run 'SHOW TABLES' if 'SHOW FULL TABLES' failed.

Reordered include files so that no mess will be left if this test is run without InnoDB
Previously, this test would leave a database named 'federated' in such a case and would
cause tests that examined existing databases to fail.

issue 'The storage engine for the table doesn't support check' note for I_S tables

table->partition_info is unitialized when we open frm file only.
The fix is check share->partition_info_len which is set on
frm opening stage.

VARIABLE_VALUE field is decreased to 1024 symbols.
(affected I_S tables: GLOBAL_VARIABLES, SESSION_VARIABLES,
 GLOBAL_STATUS, SESSION_STATUS).
The only variable which can be longer than 1024 is
init_connect. The variable will be truncated with warning.
Additional fix:
Added where condition filter which speed up queries which
have where condition with expressions which use VARIABLE_NAME
field.

changed 'charset', 'collation' field length from 64 to MY_CS_NAME_SIZE(32)
in tables:
SCHEMATA, TABLES, COLUMNS, CHARACTER_SETS,
COLLATIONS, COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY

added FLUSH TABLES after INSERT because UPDATE_TIME is updated with delay
on Win.

mysql_config did not output -ldl (or equivalent) when needed for --libmysqld-libs,
so its output could be insufficient to build an application using the embedded
server.

LIBDL was already set in configure; it's now propagated all the way into the
relevant mysql_config scripts.

japanese characters.

Fix - removed obsolvete setlocale from my_init.c . In MBCS 
environments it caused unwanted character-to-byte translations
in fputc()  in client code and wrong output as result.

            
Innodb monitor could cause a server crash because of invalid access to a
shared variable in a concurrent environment.
                  
This patch adds a guard to protect against crashes but not against
inconsistent values because of performance reasons.

Problem 1: BUG#36625: rpl_redirect doesn't do anything useful. It tests an
obsolete feature that was never fully implemented.
Fix 1: Remove rpl_redirect.
Problem 2: rpl_innodb_bug28430 and rpl_flushlog_loop are disabled despite the
bugs for which they were disabled have been fixed.
Fix 2: Re-enable rpl_innodb_bug28430 and rpl_flushlog_loop.
