Tested on 10.4 and 10.5 and passes on all 3 tests now occur with
particular attention to the causing MDEVs:

- MDEV-19511 Big endian issue in libmariadb
  -  has been resolved;
- CONC-208 Client tests (main.mysql_client_test, main.mysql_client_test_nonblock, main.mysql_client_test_comp) fail in buildbot on Power
  - observed passing in 10.5
- MDEV-19369 main.mysql_client_test, main.mysql_client_test_comp failed on ASAN build with error: 5888, status: 23, errno: 2
  - passing on ASAN builder

Some calls of extend_space() perl function miss the last parameter. Some
cases in the test check corrupted pages info absence in the output
file if the table is dropped. We should also test if the
corruption presents before testing its absence.

While cleaning up a failed CREATE TABLE LIKE <sequence>, `mysql_rm_table_no_locks`
erroneously attempted to remove all tables involved in the query, including
the source table (sequence).

Fix to temporarily modify `table_list` to ensure that only the intended
table is removed during the cleanup.

Clean up after main.log_slow_debug.

Without pam compiled there will be no auth_pam_tool_dir, so check this
before attempting something that will error.

In the hexlo function, the element type of the array hex_lo_digit is not
explicitly declared as signed char, causing elements with a value of -1
to be converted to 255 on Arm64. The problem occurs because "char" is
unsigned by default on Arm64 compiler, but signed on x86 compiler. This
problem can be seen in https://godbolt.org/z/rT775xshj

The above issue causes "use-after-poison" exception in my_mb_wc_filename
function. The code snippet where the error occurred is shown below,
copied from below link.
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/5fc19e71375fb39eb85354321bf852d998aecf81/strings/ctype-utf8.c#L2728

2728    if ((byte1= hexlo(byte1)) >= 0 &&
2729     (byte2= hexlo(byte2)) >= 0)
  	{
2731    	int byte3= hexlo(s[3]);
    		…
  	}

At line 2729, when byte2 is 0, which indicates the end of the string s.
(1) On x86, hexlo(0) return -1 and line 2731 is skipped, as expected.
(2) On Arm64, hexlo(0) return 255 and line 2731 is executed, not as
expected, accessing s[3] after the null character of string s, thus
raising the "user-after-poison" error.

The problem was discovered when executing the main.mysqlcheck test.

The memory allocated for an instance of the class Item_direct_ref_to_item
was leaked on second execution of a query run as a prepared statement and
involving conversion of strings with different character sets.

The reason of leaking the memory was caused by the fact that a statement
arena could be already set by the moment the method
Type_std_attributes::agg_item_set_converter() is called.

Due to the different command line format of the timeout
utility on FreeBSD and Linux, SST scripts for mariabackup
may not work on FreeBSD. This commit fixes this problem
by adding a different command to test options on FreeBSD
and adding proper formatting for the utility options.

When aggregating pairs BIT+NULL and NULL+BIT for result, e.g.
in COALESCE(), preserve the BIT data type (ignore explicit NULLs).

The same fix applied to YEAR.

This bug could affect queries with IN subqueries in WHERE clause and using
derived tables to which split optimization potentially could be applied.

When looking for the best split of a splittable derived table T any key
access from a semi-join materialized table used for lookups S to table T
must be excluded from consideration because in the current implementation
of such tables as S the values from its records cannot be used to access
other tables.

    MDEV-32301: Server crashes at Arg_comparator::compare_row

    In  Item_bool_rowready_func2::build_clone(): if we're setting
      clone->cmp.comparators=0
    also set
      const_item_cache=0
    as the Item is currently in a state where one cannot compute it.

A subquery in form "(SELECT not_null_value LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1)" will
produce no rows which will translate into scalar SQL NULL value.

The code in Item_singlerow_subselect::fix_length_and_dec() failed to
take the LIMIT/OFFSET clause into account and used to set
item_subselect->maybe_null=0, despite that SQL NULL will be produced.

If such subselect was used in ORDER BY, this would cause a crash in
filesort() code when it would get a NULL value for a not-nullable item.

also made subselect_engine::no_tables() const function.

In  Item_bool_rowready_func2::build_clone(): if we're setting
  clone->cmp.comparators=0
also set
  const_item_cache=0
as the Item is currently in a state where one cannot compute it.

The code inside Item_subselect::fix_fields() could fail to check
that left expression had an Item_row, like this:

  (('x', 1.0) ,1) IN (SELECT 'x', 1.23 FROM ... UNION ...)

In order to hit the failure, the first SELECT of the subquery had
to be a degenerate no-tables select. In this case, execution will
not enter into Item_in_subselect::create_row_in_to_exists_cond()
and will not check if left_expr is composed of scalars.

But the subquery is a UNION so as a whole it is not degenerate.
We try to create an expression cache for the subquery.
We create a temp.table from left_expr columns. No field is created
for the Item_row. Then, we crash when trying to add an index over a
non-existent field.

Fixed by moving the left_expr cardinality check to a point in
check_and_do_in_subquery_rewrites() which gets executed for all
cases.
It's better to make the check early so we don't have to care about
subquery rewrite code hitting Item_row in left_expr.

SST for mariabackup may not destroy old files if datadir or
other working directory is declared as a symlink due to the lack
of the "-L" option among the find utility options, similarly SST
for rsync in some cases may not transfer data directories if they
are created as symlinks. This fix adds the missing option and
generally unifies the work with find utility options to avoid
failures in the interpretation of directories and regular
expressions.

While checking for altered column in foreign key constraints,
InnoDB fails to ignore virtual columns. This issue caused
by commit 5f09b53b(MDEV-31086).

- InnoDB should avoid the sync commit operation when
there is nothing in fulltext cache. This is caused by
commit 1248fe72 (MDEV-27582)

the bug with %attr(700,%{mysqld_user},-)

MDEV-32249 strings/ctype-ucs2.c:2336: my_vsnprintf_utf32: Assertion `(n % 4) == 0' failed in my_vsnprintf_utf32 on INSERT

The crash inside my_vsnprintf_utf32() happened correctly,
because the caller methods:
  Field_string::sql_rpl_type()
  Field_varstring::sql_rpl_type()
mis-used the charset library and sent pure ASCII data to the
virtual function snprintf() of a utf32 CHARSET_INFO.

It was wrong to use Field::charset() in sql_rpl_type().
We're printing the metadata (the data type) here, not the column data.
The string contraining the data type of a CHAR/VARCHAR column
is a pure ASCII string.

Fixing to use res->charset() to print, like all virtual implementations
of sql_type() do.

Review was done by Andrei Elkin.
Thanks to Andrei for proposing MTR test improvents.

The cmake configuration step is single-threaded and already consuming
too much time. We should not make it worse by adding invocations like
MY_CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG().

Let us prefer something that works on any supported version
of GCC (4.8.5 or later) or clang, as well as recent versions
of the Intel C compiler.

This replaces commit 1fde7853

When spider_db_delete_all_rows() is called, the supplied spider->conns
may have already been freed. The existing mechanism has spider_trx own
the connections in trx_conn_hash and it may free a conn during the
cleanup after a query. When running a delete query and if the table is
in the table cache, ha_spider::open() would not be called which would
recreate the conn. So we recreate the conn when necessary during
delete by calling spider_check_trx_and_get_conn().

We also reduce code duplication as delete_all_rows() and truncate()
has almost identical code, and there's no need to assign
wide_handler->sql_command in these functions because it has already
been correctly assigned.
