Fix for Bug # 18828. Return DB_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS when we run out

of UNDO slots in the rollback segment. This is a partial fix since the
MySQL error code requested to properly report the error condition back
to the client has not yet materialized. Currently we have #ifdef'd the
error code translation in ha_innodb.cc. This will have to be changed
as and when MySQl add the new requested code or an equivalent code
that we can then use.

Given the above, currently we will get the old behaviour, not the "fixed"
and intended behaviour.
