The fix for bug 17608 removed the behavior of only adding quotes to values
  that needed it when constructing the queries sent by the federated storage
  engine. This restores that behavior, but using a new virtual Field method.
  (The old one had a hardcoded list of field types.)

  No test included. The behavior can be verified by inspecting the query log
  on the slave in the federated test.

Removed logic in ha_federated::write_row, which checks field query ids in the
loop which builds the query to run on the remote server.

1) When initializing a boolean variable, do not use string representations '"false"' and '"true"' 
    but rather the boolean values 'false' and 'true'.
2) Add the module to the various Windows description files.

In 5.0, this is already solved, so that is a null-merge ("ul").

  Test case for bug#10977 altered to make it work in both plain and ps-protocol modes.

  Corrected the test case after fixing bug#10977
