    This changeset is largely a handler cleanup changeset (WL#3281), but includes fixes and cleanups that was found necessary while testing the handler changes
    
    Changes that requires code changes in other code of other storage engines.
    (Note that all changes are very straightforward and one should find all issues
    by compiling a --debug build and fixing all compiler errors and all
    asserts in field.cc while running the test suite),
    
    - New optional handler function introduced: reset()
      This is called after every DML statement to make it easy for a handler to
      statement specific cleanups.
      (The only case it's not called is if force the file to be closed)
    
    - handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RESET) is removed. Code that was there before
      should be moved to handler::reset()
    
    - table->read_set contains a bitmap over all columns that are needed
      in the query.  read_row() and similar functions only needs to read these
      columns
    - table->write_set contains a bitmap over all columns that will be updated
      in the query. write_row() and update_row() only needs to update these
      columns.
      The above bitmaps should now be up to date in all context
      (including ALTER TABLE, filesort()).
    
      The handler is informed of any changes to the bitmap after
      fix_fields() by calling the virtual function
      handler::column_bitmaps_signal(). If the handler does caching of
      these bitmaps (instead of using table->read_set, table->write_set),
      it should redo the caching in this code. as the signal() may be sent
      several times, it's probably best to set a variable in the signal
      and redo the caching on read_row() / write_row() if the variable was
      set.
    
    - Removed the read_set and write_set bitmap objects from the handler class
    
    - Removed all column bit handling functions from the handler class.
      (Now one instead uses the normal bitmap functions in my_bitmap.c instead
      of handler dedicated bitmap functions)
    
    - field->query_id is removed. One should instead instead check
      table->read_set and table->write_set if a field is used in the query.
    
    - handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIVE_ALL_COLS) and
      handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_PRIMARY_KEY) are removed. One should now
      instead use table->read_set to check for which columns to retrieve.
    
    - If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
      that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
      all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
      functions:
    
      my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
      field->val();
      dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);
    
      and similar for the write map:
    
      my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
      field->val();
      dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);
    
      If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
      in the field store() / val() functions.
      (For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
      dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
      be optimized away be the compiler).
    
    - If one needs to temporary set the column map for all binaries (and not
      just to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT() in the Field::store() / Field::val()
      methods) one should use the functions tmp_use_all_columns() and
      tmp_restore_column_map() instead of the above dbug_ variants.
    
    - All 'status' fields in the handler base class (like records,
      data_file_length etc) are now stored in a 'stats' struct. This makes
      it easier to know what status variables are provided by the base
      handler.  This requires some trivial variable names in the extra()
      function.
    
    - New virtual function handler::records().  This is called to optimize
      COUNT(*) if (handler::table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS()) is true.
      (stats.records is not supposed to be an exact value. It's only has to
      be 'reasonable enough' for the optimizer to be able to choose a good
      optimization path).
    
    - Non virtual handler::init() function added for caching of virtual
      constants from engine.
    
    - Removed has_transactions() virtual method. Now one should instead return
      HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS in table_flags() if the table handler DOES NOT support
      transactions.
    
    - The 'xxxx_create_handler()' function now has a MEM_ROOT_root argument
      that is to be used with 'new handler_name()' to allocate the handler
      in the right area.  The xxxx_create_handler() function is also
      responsible for any initialization of the object before returning.
    
      For example, one should change:
    
      static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table)
      {
        return new ha_myisam(table);
      }
    
      ->
    
      static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table, MEM_ROOT *mem_root)
      {
        return new (mem_root) ha_myisam(table);
      }
    
    - New optional virtual function: use_hidden_primary_key().
      This is called in case of an update/delete when
      (table_flags() and HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE) is defined
      but we don't have a primary key. This allows the handler to take precisions
      in remembering any hidden primary key to able to update/delete any
      found row. The default handler marks all columns to be read.
    
    - handler::table_flags() now returns a ulonglong (to allow for more flags).
    
    - New/changed table_flags()
      - HA_HAS_RECORDS	    Set if ::records() is supported
      - HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS	    Set if engine doesn't support transactions
      - HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE
                                Set if we should mark all primary key columns for
    			    read when reading rows as part of a DELETE
    			    statement. If there is no primary key,
    			    all columns are marked for read.
      - HA_PARTIAL_COLUMN_READ  Set if engine will not read all columns in some
    			    cases (based on table->read_set)
     - HA_PRIMARY_KEY_ALLOW_RANDOM_ACCESS
       			    Renamed to HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION.
     - HA_DUPP_POS              Renamed to HA_DUPLICATE_POS
     - HA_REQUIRES_KEY_COLUMNS_FOR_DELETE
    			    Set this if we should mark ALL key columns for
    			    read when when reading rows as part of a DELETE
    			    statement. In case of an update we will mark
    			    all keys for read for which key part changed
    			    value.
      - HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT
    			     Set this if stats.records is exact.
    			     (This saves us some extra records() calls
    			     when optimizing COUNT(*))
    			    
    
    - Removed table_flags()
      - HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT     Now one should instead use HA_HAS_RECORDS if
    			   handler::records() gives an exact count() and
    			   HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT if stats.records is exact.
      - HA_READ_RND_SAME	   Removed (no one supported this one)
    
    - Removed not needed functions ha_retrieve_all_cols() and ha_retrieve_all_pk()
    
    - Renamed handler::dupp_pos to handler::dup_pos
    
    - Removed not used variable handler::sortkey
    
    
    Upper level handler changes:
    
    - ha_reset() now does some overall checks and calls ::reset()
    - ha_table_flags() added. This is a cached version of table_flags(). The
      cache is updated on engine creation time and updated on open.
    
    
    MySQL level changes (not obvious from the above):
    
    - DBUG_ASSERT() added to check that column usage matches what is set
      in the column usage bit maps. (This found a LOT of bugs in current
      column marking code).
    
    - In 5.1 before, all used columns was marked in read_set and only updated
      columns was marked in write_set. Now we only mark columns for which we
      need a value in read_set.
    
    - Column bitmaps are created in open_binary_frm() and open_table_from_share().
      (Before this was in table.cc)
    
    - handler::table_flags() calls are replaced with handler::ha_table_flags()
    
    - For calling field->val() you must have the corresponding bit set in
      table->read_set. For calling field->store() you must have the
      corresponding bit set in table->write_set. (There are asserts in
      all store()/val() functions to catch wrong usage)
    
    - thd->set_query_id is renamed to thd->mark_used_columns and instead
      of setting this to an integer value, this has now the values:
      MARK_COLUMNS_NONE, MARK_COLUMNS_READ, MARK_COLUMNS_WRITE
      Changed also all variables named 'set_query_id' to mark_used_columns.
    
    - In filesort() we now inform the handler of exactly which columns are needed
      doing the sort and choosing the rows.
    
    - The TABLE_SHARE object has a 'all_set' column bitmap one can use
      when one needs a column bitmap with all columns set.
      (This is used for table->use_all_columns() and other places)
    
    - The TABLE object has 3 column bitmaps:
      - def_read_set     Default bitmap for columns to be read
      - def_write_set    Default bitmap for columns to be written
      - tmp_set          Can be used as a temporary bitmap when needed.
      The table object has also two pointer to bitmaps read_set and write_set
      that the handler should use to find out which columns are used in which way.
    
    - count() optimization now calls handler::records() instead of using
      handler->stats.records (if (table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS) is true).
    
    - Added extra argument to Item::walk() to indicate if we should also
      traverse sub queries.
    
    - Added TABLE parameter to cp_buffer_from_ref()
    
    - Don't close tables created with CREATE ... SELECT but keep them in
      the table cache. (Faster usage of newly created tables).
    
    
    New interfaces:
    
    - table->clear_column_bitmaps() to initialize the bitmaps for tables
      at start of new statements.
    
    - table->column_bitmaps_set() to set up new column bitmaps and signal
      the handler about this.
    
    - table->column_bitmaps_set_no_signal() for some few cases where we need
      to setup new column bitmaps but don't signal the handler (as the handler
      has already been signaled about these before). Used for the momement
      only in opt_range.cc when doing ROR scans.
    
    - table->use_all_columns() to install a bitmap where all columns are marked
      as use in the read and the write set.
    
    - table->default_column_bitmaps() to install the normal read and write
      column bitmaps, but not signaling the handler about this.
      This is mainly used when creating TABLE instances.
    
    - table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete(),
      table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete() and
      table->mark_columns_needed_for_insert() to allow us to put additional
      columns in column usage maps if handler so requires.
      (The handler indicates what it neads in handler->table_flags())
    
    - table->prepare_for_position() to allow us to tell handler that it
      needs to read primary key parts to be able to store them in
      future table->position() calls.
      (This replaces the table->file->ha_retrieve_all_pk function)
    
    - table->mark_auto_increment_column() to tell handler are going to update
      columns part of any auto_increment key.
    
    - table->mark_columns_used_by_index() to mark all columns that is part of
      an index.  It will also send extra(HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD) to handler to allow
      it to quickly know that it only needs to read colums that are part
      of the key.  (The handler can also use the column map for detecting this,
      but simpler/faster handler can just monitor the extra() call).
    
    - table->mark_columns_used_by_index_no_reset() to in addition to other columns,
      also mark all columns that is used by the given key.
    
    - table->restore_column_maps_after_mark_index() to restore to default
      column maps after a call to table->mark_columns_used_by_index().
    
    - New item function register_field_in_read_map(), for marking used columns
      in table->read_map. Used by filesort() to mark all used columns
    
    - Maintain in TABLE->merge_keys set of all keys that are used in query.
      (Simplices some optimization loops)
    
    - Maintain Field->part_of_key_not_clustered which is like Field->part_of_key
      but the field in the clustered key is not assumed to be part of all index.
      (used in opt_range.cc for faster loops)
    
    -  dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(), dbug_tmp_restore_column_map()
       tmp_use_all_columns() and tmp_restore_column_map() functions to temporally
       mark all columns as usable.  The 'dbug_' version is primarily intended
       inside a handler when it wants to just call Field:store() & Field::val()
       functions, but don't need the column maps set for any other usage.
       (ie:: bitmap_is_set() is never called)
    
    - We can't use compare_records() to skip updates for handlers that returns
      a partial column set and the read_set doesn't cover all columns in the
      write set. The reason for this is that if we have a column marked only for
      write we can't in the MySQL level know if the value changed or not.
      The reason this worked before was that MySQL marked all to be written
      columns as also to be read. The new 'optimal' bitmaps exposed this 'hidden
      bug'.
    
    - open_table_from_share() does not anymore setup temporary MEM_ROOT
      object as a thread specific variable for the handler. Instead we
      send the to-be-used MEMROOT to get_new_handler().
      (Simpler, faster code)
    
    
    
    Bugs fixed:
    
    - Column marking was not done correctly in a lot of cases.
      (ALTER TABLE, when using triggers, auto_increment fields etc)
      (Could potentially result in wrong values inserted in table handlers
      relying on that the old column maps or field->set_query_id was correct)
      Especially when it comes to triggers, there may be cases where the
      old code would cause lost/wrong values for NDB and/or InnoDB tables.
    
    - Split thd->options flag OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE to two flags:
      OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE and OPTION_KEEP_LOG.
      This allowed me to remove some wrong warnings about:
      "Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back"
    
    - Fixed handling of INSERT .. SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT that wrongly reset
      (thd->options & OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE) which caused us to loose
      some warnings about
      "Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back")
    
    - Fixed use of uninitialized memory in ha_ndbcluster.cc::delete_table()
      which could cause delete_table to report random failures.
    
    - Fixed core dumps for some tests when running with --debug
    
    - Added missing FN_LIBCHAR in mysql_rm_tmp_tables()
      (This has probably caused us to not properly remove temporary files after
      crash)
    
    - slow_logs was not properly initialized, which could maybe cause
      extra/lost entries in slow log.
    
    - If we get an duplicate row on insert, change column map to read and
      write all columns while retrying the operation. This is required by
      the definition of REPLACE and also ensures that fields that are only
      part of UPDATE are properly handled.  This fixed a bug in NDB and
      REPLACE where REPLACE wrongly copied some column values from the replaced
      row.
    
    - For table handler that doesn't support NULL in keys, we would give an error
      when creating a primary key with NULL fields, even after the fields has been
      automaticly converted to NOT NULL.
    
    - Creating a primary key on a SPATIAL key, would fail if field was not
      declared as NOT NULL.
    
    
    Cleanups:
    
    - Removed not used condition argument to setup_tables
    
    - Removed not needed item function reset_query_id_processor().
    
    - Field->add_index is removed. Now this is instead maintained in
      (field->flags & FIELD_IN_ADD_INDEX)
    
    - Field->fieldnr is removed (use field->field_index instead)
    
    - New argument to filesort() to indicate that it should return a set of
      row pointers (not used columns). This allowed me to remove some references
      to sql_command in filesort and should also enable us to return column
      results in some cases where we couldn't before.
    
    - Changed column bitmap handling in opt_range.cc to be aligned with TABLE
      bitmap, which allowed me to use bitmap functions instead of looping over
      all fields to create some needed bitmaps. (Faster and smaller code)
    
    - Broke up found too long lines
    
    - Moved some variable declaration at start of function for better code
      readability.
    
    - Removed some not used arguments from functions.
      (setup_fields(), mysql_prepare_insert_check_table())
    
    - setup_fields() now takes an enum instead of an int for marking columns
       usage.
    
    - For internal temporary tables, use handler::write_row(),
      handler::delete_row() and handler::update_row() instead of
      handler::ha_xxxx() for faster execution.
    
    - Changed some constants to enum's and define's.
    
    - Using separate column read and write sets allows for easier checking
      of timestamp field was set by statement.
    
    - Remove calls to free_io_cache() as this is now done automaticly in ha_reset()
    
    - Don't build table->normalized_path as this is now identical to table->path
      (after bar's fixes to convert filenames)
    
    - Fixed some missed DBUG_PRINT(.."%lx") to use "0x%lx" to make it easier to
      do comparision with the 'convert-dbug-for-diff' tool.
    
    
    Things left to do in 5.1:
    
    - We wrongly log failed CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in some cases when using
      row based logging (as shown by testcase binlog_row_mix_innodb_myisam.result)
      Mats has promised to look into this.
    
    - Test that my fix for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is indeed correct.
      (I added several test cases for this, but in this case it's better that
      someone else also tests this throughly).
      Lars has promosed to do this.
