- Removed some not needed casts
- Change plugin.h to be 'binary compatible' with old versions
- Added mysql_ft_size_t typedef to plugin.h to make it trivial to change string lengths to size_t on next ABI change

Don't use static link by default (in compile-pentium) as some new systems doesn't have all static libraries available
Change type for functions in plugin.h:str_mysql_ftparser_param() to const unsigned char and string lengths to size_t.
One effect of the above change is that one needs to include mysql_global.h or define size_t before including plugin.h
This fixes a case where mysql_client_test failed with newer gcc that enables strict-aliasing by default
