An after-fix to workaround different metadata in "mtr --ps" output.

            
rpl_packet got a timeout failure sporadically on PB when stopping
slave. The real reason of this bug is that STOP SLAVE stopped
IO thread first and then stopped SQL thread. It was
possible that IO thread stopped after replicating part of a
transaction which SQL thread was executing. SQL thread would
be hung if the transaction could not be rolled back safely.
            
After this patch, STOP SLAVE will stop SQL thread first and then stop IO
thread, which guarantees that IO thread will fetch the reset of the
events of the transaction that SQL thread is executing, so that SQL
thread can finish the transaction if it cannot be rolled back safely.
            
Added below auxiliary files to make the test code neater.

Fix for bug#45740 introduced test case using SHOW TABLE STATUS against a Memory table using latin1 character in table name.
The test failed on Windows and FreeBSD due to a difference in the value for Avg_row_length.
The average row length normally depends on the values for data length and row count. According to the 5.5 manual data length is approximate with Memory tables.
With MyISAM and InnoDB the Avg_row_length is the same on Windows and Solaris.
The solution implemented by this patch is to mask out the value for Avg_row_length, as it may vary when using Memory tables.

Problem: the scanner function tested for strings "<![CDATA[" and
"-->" without checking input string boundaries, which led to valgrind's
"Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" error.

Fix: Adding boundary checking.

  @ mysql-test/r/xml.result
  @ mysql-test/t/xml.test
  Adding test

  @ strings/xml.c
  Adding a helper function my_xml_parser_prefix_cmp(),
  with input string boundary check.

sys_vars.innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_func fails sporadically
      

BUG#58858 : sys_vars.innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_func fails sporadically

Committing After latest merge.      
Modified check_pct procedure to check return value of wait condition instead 
of calling "dirty_pct".
   
Adding Review comments:
1) Added comment for success variable value
2) Procedure check_pct changed For Adding BOOLEAN input and SELECT QUERY Change

Re-enabling the test case on windows since BUG#12190 has fixed
the issue.

Introduced by the fix for bug#44766.

Problem: it's not correct to use args[0]->str_value as a buffer,
because args[0] may need this buffer for its own purposes.

Fix: adding a new class member tmp_value to use as return value.

  @ mysql-test/r/ctype_many.result
  @ mysql-test/t/ctype_many.test
  Adding tests

  @ sql/item_strfunc.cc
  Changing code into traditional style:
  use "str" as a buffer for the argument and tmp_value for the result value.

  @ sql/item_strfunc.h
  Adding tmp_value

      
Problem: when processing a query like:
  SELECT '' LIKE '1' ESCAPE COUNT(1);
escape_item->val_str() was never executed and the "escape" class member
stayed initialized, which led to valgrind uninitialized memory error.
      
Note, a query with some tables in "FROM" clause
returns ER_WRONG_ARGUMENTS in the same situation:

   SELECT '' LIKE '1' ESCAPE COUNT(1) FROM t1;
   ERROR 1210 (HY000): Incorrect arguments to ESCAPE

Fix: disallowing using aggregate functions in ESCAPE clause,
even if there are no tables used. There is no much use of that anyway.

When mysqldadmin is run with sleep and count options,
it goes into an infinite loop and keeps executing the
specified command.

This happened because the statement, responsible for
decrementing the count value, was missing.

Fixed by adding a statement which will decrement the
count value for each iteration.


client/mysqladmin.cc:
  Bug#58221 : mysqladmin --sleep=x --count=x keeps looping
  
  Added a condition to check and decrement the count
  value stored in nr_iterations per iteration.
mysql-test/r/mysqladmin.result:
  Added a testcase for Bug#58221.
mysql-test/t/mysqladmin.test:
  Added a testcase for Bug#58221.

It is a backported patch.

Backport to 5.0.

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.
      
This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.
      
- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
   will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

        IA64 and some other arcitectures use different float rounding mode and
        i find no decent way to make it consistent.
        So the test changed to be insensitive to this.

When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
the result does not contain field level comments.

In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
regarding field comments.

Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
required field informations, including the field comment.


client/mysqldump.c:
  Bug#13618 : mysqldump --xml omits comment on table field.
  
  Replaced the 'show fields' command by a statement that
  queries I_S, in order to retrieve information on all the
  attributes that 'show fields' returns along-with an additional
  column_comment information.
mysql-test/r/client_xml.result:
  Result modifications for bug#13618.
mysql-test/r/mysqldump.result:
  Result modifications for bug#13618.
mysql-test/t/mysqldump.test:
  Added a testcase for bug#13618.

Backported the fix to 5.1.
Problem: the auxiliary test files rpl_start_server.inc and rpl_stop_server.inc
write a file that is later read by mtr. The bug was that the file was written
with platform-dependent newline terminators, i.e., \r\n on windows, whereas mtr
only understands \n.
Fix: write the file so that it uses \n on all platforms.


mysql-test/include/rpl_start_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.
mysql-test/include/rpl_stop_server.inc:
  Force test to use \n instead of platform-dependent newline terminator.
