Also clarify which --{no-,}default* options, must be first.

Sample output:
$  client/mysql --help
client/mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.59-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Copyright (c) 2000, 2017, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Usage: client/mysql [OPTIONS] [database]

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: mysql client client-server client-mariadb
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults          Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults             Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/groups are read (specified before other options):
--defaults-file=#         Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=#   Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.

tests running from build directory:
TEST: print defaults ignored as not first
$ sql/mysqld  --no-defaults --print-defaults --lc-messages-dir=${PWD}/sql/share

TEST: no startup occurs as --print-defaults specified
$ sql/mysqld  --print-defaults --lc-messages-dir=${PWD}/sql/share
sql/mysqld would have been started with the following arguments:
--lc-messages-dir=/home/dan/repos/build-mariadb-5.5/sql/share

TEST: default args can't be anywhere
$ client/mysql --user=bob  --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf
client/mysql: unknown variable 'defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf'
$ client/mysql --user=bob  --defaults-group-suffix=.group
client/mysql: unknown variable 'defaults-group-suffix=.group'

/etc/my.cnf:
[client-server.group]
socket=/var/lib/mysql-multi/group/mysqld.sock
user=bob

/etc/my.other.cnf:
socket=/var/lib/mysql-other/mysqld.sock

TEST: defaults file read and suffix also applied
$  client/mysql  --defaults-file=/etc/my.other.cnf  --defaults-group-suffix=.group
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql-other/mysqld.sock' (2)

TEST: defaults extra file
$ client/mysql  --defaults-extra-file=/etc/my.other.cnf  --defaults-group-suffix=.group
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql-other/mysqld.sock' (2)

condition fixed.

handler::ha_create_handler_files shouldn't call the
mark_trx_read_write() for the temporary table.

MDEV-15624 Changing the default character set to utf8mb4 changes query evaluation in a very surprising way

warning: format '%p' expects argument of type 'void *', but argument 4 has type 'long int'

For this case we have a view that is mergeable but we are not able to merge it in the
parent select because that would exceed the maximum tables allowed in the join list, so we
materialise this view
TABLE_LIST::dervied is NULL for such views, it is only set for views which have ALGORITHM=TEMPTABLE
Fixed by making sure TABLE_LIST::derived is set for views that could not be merged

A simple patch fixing the problem in 5.5.
Note, a full patch was previously fixed to 10.3.

Conversion of a subquery to a semi-join is blocked when we have an
IN subquery predicate in the on_expr of an outer join. Currently this
scenario is handled but the cases when an IN subquery predicate is wrapped
inside a Item_in_optimizer item then this blocking is not done.

Detection of first execution of PS fixed.
More debug info.

For the query having an IN subquery with no tables, we were converting the subquery with an expression between
the left part and the select list of the subquery . This can give incorrect results when we have a condition
in the subquery with a dual table (as this is treated as a no table).

The fix is that we don't do this conversion when we have conds in the subquery with a dual table.

mem_heap_create_block(): Poison the payload area until
mem_heap_alloc() unpoisons it.

Learn both valgrind and asan to catch this bug:

  mem_heap_t* heap = mem_heap_create(1024);
  byte* p = reinterpret_cast<byte*>(heap) + sizeof(mem_heap_t);
  *p = 123;

Overflows of the last allocation in a block will be catched too.

mem_heap_create_block(): poison newly allocated memory

Backport from 10.2

The issue is that we are creating a materialised table with key of length 0 which is incorrect, we should
disable materialisation for such a case.

use the correct handlerton when looking for TRANSACTIONAL=1 support

MDEV-13748 Assertion `status_var.local_memory_used == 0 || !debug_assert_on_not_freed_memory' failed in virtual THD::~THD after query with INTERSECT

my_safe_alloca()/my_safe_afree() work as alloca() or malloc()/free()
depending on the memory size to allocate, that is, depending on
reclength here. They only work correctly if reclength doesn't
change in the middle.

proper fix replacing the hack from b80fa400

don't confuse length of the data area (reclength) with the
offset to the "deleted" mark.

Whenever one copies an IO_CACHE struct, one must remember to call
setup_io_cache, if not, the IO_CACHE's current_pos and end_pos
self-references will point to the previous struct's memory, which
could go out of scope. Commit 90038693
fixes this problem in a more general fashion by removing the
self-references altogether, but for 5.5 we'll keep the old behaviour.

MDEV-15014 Assertion `m_cache_lock_status == LOCKED_NO_WAIT || m_cache_status == DISABLE_REQUEST' failed in Query_cache::free_cache on startup

The assert guards against not-locked or not-requested query cache
disabling. If during startup we disable query cache, we failed to
request disabling.

To disable debug instrumentation, save and restore the original value
of the variable DEBUG_DBUG. Assigning -d,... will enable the output of
a lot of unrelated DBUG messages to the server error log.

First roll back changes, then free Items which can lead to memory freeing.

also cover USE and other built-in commands

mem_heap_free_heap_top(): Remove UNIV_MEM_ASSERT_W() and unpoison
the memory region first, because part of it may have been poisoned
by an earlier mem_heap_free_top() call.
Poison the address range at the end.

mem_heap_block_free(): Poison the address range at the end.

UNIV_MEM_ASSERT_AND_ALLOC(): Replace with UNIV_MEM_ALLOC().
We want to keep the address ranges poisoned (unaccessible) as
long as possible.

UNIV_MEM_ASSERT_AND_FREE(): Replace with UNIV_MEM_FREE().

MDEV-14957: JOIN::prepare gets unusable "conds" as argument

Do not touch merged derived (it is irreversible)

Fix first argument of in_optimizer for calls possible before fix_fields()

Problem:-
 If we create table using myisam/aria then this crashes the server.
  CREATE TABLE t1(a bit(1), b int auto_increment , index(a,b));
  insert into t1 values(1,1);
 Or this query
  CREATE TABLE t1 (b BIT(1), pk INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY);
  ALTER TABLE t1 ADD INDEX(b,pk);
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,b'1');
  ALTER TABLE t1 DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Reason:-
 The reason for this is
 1st- find_ref_key() finds what key an auto_increment field belongs to by
  comparing key_part->offset and field->ptr. But BIT fields might have
  zero length in the record, so a key might have many key parts with the
  same offset. That is, comparing offsets cannot uniquely identify the
  correct key part.
 2nd- Since next_number_key_offset is zero it myisam/aria will think that
  auto_increment is in first part of key.
 3nd- myisam/aria will call retrieve_auto_key which will see first key_part
  field as a bit field and call assert(0)

Solution:-
  Many key parts might have the same offset, but BIT fields do not
  support auto_increment. So, we can skip all key parts over BIT fields,
  and then comparing offsets will be unambiguous.
