Add --user=root to collect_mysqld_features() if running as root
Please disregard previous commit; this is much simpler.

Made mtr's sleep function understand $variables
A few fixes since previous patch, added tests

Added remove_files_wildcard that allows to remove multiple files at once.
This is a port of original patch to Windows.

Too complex/risky to try to fix
Instead, detect the problem and communicate that this is not supported

write()/read()

Sometimes stop/restart master or stop/restart salve can cause
network error, which can cause the 'invalid file descriptor
-1 in syscall write()/read()' warnings. All involved test
cases except rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile belong to the
kind of network error. So they are expected.
The 'rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile' belongs to file error,
but it is testing the file error as following code:
DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("remove_slave_load_file_before_write",
my_close(fd,MYF(0)); fd= -1; my_delete(fname, MYF(0)););
So it's expected too.

To fix the problem, add the valgrind warnings to the global
suppression list to suppress it.

path names than 99 characters, using the USTAR format of the
resulting source TAR.

To be able to specify the use of USTAR when creating the source
TAR, we needed both to update the GNU autotools version requirements
slightly, and update the initiation of the tools to use more
modern constructs.

--default-character-set and --character-set-server such
that only the first will give a deprecation warning.
Apart from that, the two options should do the same.

The test case rpl_binlog_corruption fails on windows because when
adding a line to the binary log index file it gets terminated
with a CR+LF (which btw, is the normal case in windows, but not on
Unixes - LF). This causes mismatch between the relay log names,
causing mysqld to report that it cannot find the log file.

We fix this by creating the instrumented index file through
mysql, ie, using SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE ..., as opposed on
relying on ultimatly OS commands like: -- echo "..." >
index. These changes go into the file and make the procedure
platform independent:

  include/setup_fake_relay_log.inc

Side note: when using SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE ..., one needs to
check if mysqld is running with secure_file_priv. If it is, we do
it in two steps: 1. create the file on the allowed location;
2. move it to the datadir. If it is not, then we just create the
file directly on the datadir (so previous step 2. is not needed).

message:
  Bug #48321  CURRENT_USER() incorrectly replicated for DROP/RENAME USER;
              REVOKE/GRANT; ALTER EVENT.
  
  The following statements support the CURRENT_USER() where a user is needed.
    DROP USER 
    RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
    GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
    REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
    ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENT
  but, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
  as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave 
  executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave 
  SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.
  
  After this patch, All above statements are rewritten when they are binlogged.
  The CURRENT_USER() is expanded to the real user's name and host.
