correctly - crashes server !

Creating federated table with connect string containing empty
(zero-length) host name and port is evaluated as 0 (port is
incorrect, omitted or 0) crashes server.

This happens because federated calls strcmp() with NULL pointer.

Fixed by avoiding strcmp() call if hostname is set to NULL.

When there are no underlying tables specified for a merge table,
SHOW CREATE TABLE outputs a statement that cannot be executed. The
same is true for mysqldump (it generates dumps that cannot be
executed).

This happens because SQL parser does not accept empty UNION() clause.

This patch changes the following:
- it is now possible to execute CREATE/ALTER statement with
  empty UNION() clause.
- the same as above, but still worth noting: it is now possible to
  remove underlying tables mapping using ALTER TABLE ... UNION=().
- SHOW CREATE TABLE does not output UNION() clause if there are
  no underlying tables specified for a merge table. This makes
  mysqldump slightly smaller.

This is a test case fix for BUG#13861.

  
Disable test case for bug 29948, which is causing sporadically
failures in other tests inside mysql_client_test.

No error code was returned by mysqldump if it detects that binary
logging is not enabled on the server.
Fixed by returning error code.

Under some circumstances, the mysql_insert_id() value after SELECT ...
INSERT could return a wrong value. This could happen when the last
SELECT ... INSERT did not involve an AUTO_INCREMENT column, but the
value of mysql_insert_id() was changed by some previous statements.

Fixed by checking the value of thd->insert_id_used in
select_insert::send_eof() and returning 0 for mysql_insert_id() if it
is not set.

Problem: libedit is a very pure-ASCII oriented library,
and it is not aware of extended (0x80..0xFF) or even multi-byte
characters. It considered such characters as non-printable
and didn't allow to input them.
Fix: make libedit think that all bytes >= 0x80 are printable.

- Apply Eric Bergen's patch: in join_read_always_key(), move ha_index_init() call
  to before the late NULLs filtering code.
- Backport function comments from 6.0.

                    with errno 17

my_create() did not perform any checks for the case when a file is
successfully created by a call to open(), but the call to
my_register_filename() later fails because the number of open files
has exceeded the my_open_files limit. This can happen on platforms 
which do not have getrlimit(), and hence we do not know the real limit
for open files. In such a case an error was returned to a caller
although the file has actually been created. Since callers assume
my_create() to return an error only when it failed to create a file,
they did not perform any cleanups, leaving an 'orphaned' file on the
file system.

Fixed by adding a check for the above case to my_create() and ensuring
the newly created file is deleted before returning an error.

Creating a deterministic test case in the test suite is impossible,
because the exact steps required to reproduce the above situation
depend on the platform and/or environment (OS per-user limits, queries
executed by previous tests, startup parameters). The patch was
manually tested on Windows using examples posted in the bug report.
