strmake() called with wrong parameters:
5.0-specific fixes.

into  mysql.com:/misc/mysql/31752_/50-31752_

strmake() calls are easy to get wrong. Add checks in extra
debug mode to identify possible exploits.

Remove some dead code.

Remove some off-by-one errors identified with new checks.

We do not have any executables in libmysql/release/ anymore.

crashes.

MySQL distributions contain a number of programs that are used only by
the MySQL test suite internally, i.e. they are not indended to be
invoked directly by a user. As a result, such programs are not
documented, do not have any built-in help or proper error reporting,
which may confuse users.

This patch fixes the problem with the following changes:
- mytest, libmysqltest and all references to them were removed from the
distribution since they are not used anymore
- bug25714 now displays an error message when run with incorrect
arguments or with the --help option
- mysql_client_test now does not call abort() in case of errors,
instead it does a clean exit() with a proper error status.

causes out of memory errors

The code in mysql_create_function() and mysql_drop_function() assumed
that the only reason for UDFs being uninitialized at that point is an
out-of-memory error during initialization. However, another possible 
reason for that is the --skip-grant-tables option in which case UDF 
initialization is skipped and UDFs are unavailable.

The solution is to check whether mysqld is running with
--skip-grant-tables and issue a proper error in such a case.

  
Since, as of MySQL 5.0.15, CHAR() arguments larger than 255 are converted into multiple result bytes, a single CHAR() argument can now take up to 4 bytes. This patch fixes Item_func_char::fix_length_and_dec() to take this into account.
  
This patch also fixes a regression introduced by the patch for bug21513. As now we do not always have the 'name' member of Item set for Item_hex_string and Item_bin_string, an own print() method has been added to Item_hex_string so that it could correctly be printed by Item_func::print_args().

The special case with NULL as a regular expression
was handled at prepare time. But in this special case
the item was not marked as fixed. This caused an assertion
at execution time.
Fixed my marking the item as fixed even when known to 
return NULL at prepare time.

A sign of a resulting item of the IFNULL function was not
updated and the maximal length of this result was calculated
improperly. Correct algorithm was copy&pasted from the IF
function implementation.

Even though it returns NULL, the MAKETIME function did not have this property set,
causing a failed assertion (designed to catch exactly this).
Fixed by setting the nullability property of MAKETIME().

  Item_sum_distinct::setup(THD*): Assertion

There was an assertion to detect a bug in ROLLUP
implementation. However the assertion is not true
when used in a subquery context with non-cacheable
statements.
Fixed by turning the assertion to accepted case
(just like it's done for the other aggregate functions). 

when a divisor is less than 1 and its fractional part is very long.
For example:
1 % .123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789;

Stack buffer overflow has been fixed in the do_div_mod function.

As the result of DOUBLE claculations can be bigger
than DBL_MAX constant we use in code, we shouldn't use this constatn
as a biggest possible value.
Particularly the rtree_pick_key function set 'min_area= DBL_MAX' relying
that any rtree_area_increase result will be less so we return valid
key. Though in rtree_area_increase function we calculate the area
of the rectangle, so the result can be 'inf' if the rectangle is
huge enough, which is bigger than DBL_MAX.

Code of the rtree_pick_key modified so we always return a valid key.
