WL#2936

  Fix compiler warnings,
  Fix help output - this fixes im test failures.
  Fix incomplete change of SET plugin vars to ulonglong.
  Allow ER() to work without crashing when errmsg.sys has not been loaded.


include/mysql/plugin.h:
  wl2936
    slip in const modifier for default values,
    this removes compiler warnings when assigning a string const as default value.
sql/derror.cc:
  WL2936
    Allow init_errmessage() to return upon failure.
    Initialize errmesg to an array of empty strings if it failed to load errmsg.sys
sql/mysqld.cc:
  wl2936
    Include Ingo's compiler-warnings fix.
    If init_errmessage() failed to load errmsg.sys, abort.
    Failure to set working directory not fatal when '--help' is specified, as
    server will terminate anyway after displaying help information.
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
  wl2936
    complete change of SET vars from ulong to ulonglong.

     This function can be called multiple times to reload the messages.
+	If it fails to load the messages, it will fail softly by initializing
+	the errmesg pointer to an array of empty strings or by keeping the
