  message:
    A fix for Bug#22891 "session level max_allowed_packet can be
    set but is ignored".
  
    This patch makes @@session.max_allowed_packed and
    @@session.net_buffer_length read-only as suggested in the bug
    report. The user will have to use SET GLOBAL (and reconnect)
    to alter the session values of these variables.
  
    The error string ER_VARIABLE_IS_READONLY is introduced.
  
    Tests are modified accordingly.
