Bug#35220: ALTER TABLE too picky on reserved word "foreign"

In ALTER TABLE, change the internal parser to search for
``FOREIGN[[:space:]]'' instead of only ``FOREIGN'' when parsing
ALTER TABLE ... DROP FOREIGN KEY ...; otherwise it could be mistaken
with ALTER TABLE ... DROP foreign_col;

(This fix is already present in MySQL 5.1 and higher.)

These changes, where applicable, are available in 5.1-specific snapshots for MySQL 5.1+.

Bug #34286  Assertion failure in thread 2816 in file .\row\row0sel.c line 3500
Since autoinc init performs a MySQL SELECT query to determine the auto-inc
value, set prebuilt->sql_stat_start = TRUE so that it is performed like any
normal SELECT, regardless of the context in which it was invoked.


Bug #35352  If InnoDB crashes with UNDO slots full error the error persists on restart
We've added a heuristic that checks the size of the UNDO slots cache lists
(insert and upate). If either of cached lists has more than 500 entries then we
add any UNDO slots that are freed, to the common free list instead of the cache
list, this is to avoid the case where all the free slots end up in only one of
the lists on startup after a crash.

Tested with test case for 26590 and passes all mysql-test(s).

Bug #36600  SHOW STATUS takes a lot of CPU in buf_get_latched_pages_number
Fixed by removing the Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_latched variable from SHOW
STATUS output in non-UNIV_DEBUG compilation.

      
Reset session sql_mode before creating system tables as it
is done in the mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script.

      
min() and max() functions are implemented in MySQL as macros.
This means that max(a,b) is expanded to: ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
Note how 'a' is quoted two times.
Now imagine 'a' is a recursive function call that's several 10s of levels deep.
And the recursive function does max() with a function arg as well to dive into
recursion.
This means that simple function call can take most of the clock time.
Identified and fixed several such calls to max()/min() : including the IF() 
sql function implementation.

config/ac-macros/character_sets.m4 didn't mention hungarian collations
in the UTF8 and UCS2 lists.

Calling List<Cached_item>::delete_elements for the same list twice
caused a crash of the server in the function JOIN::cleaunup.
Ensured that delete_elements() in JOIN::cleanup would be called only once.

Removing duplicate 'setup' portions of these include files.  Likely an editor error created dupe lines.
This is causing many Pushbuild errors

     
Tables in the table definition cache are keeping a cache buffer for blob
fields which can consume a lot of memory.
    
This patch introduces a maximum size threshold for these buffers.

BUG#37884: rpl_row_basic_2myisam and rpl_row_basic_3innodb fail sporadically in pushbuild
These have been fixed in 5.1-rpl. Re-applying fix for BUG#37884
in 5.1-bugteam, and disabling rpl_flushlog_loop for BUG#37733 in
5.1-bugteam.

                  
Range scan in descending order for c <= <col> <= c type of
ranges was ignoring the DESC flag.
However some engines like InnoDB have the primary key parts 
as a suffix for every secondary key.
When such primary key suffix is used for ordering ignoring 
the DESC is not valid.
But we generally would like to do this because it's faster.
            
Fixed by performing only reverse scan if the primary key is used.
Removed some dead code in the process.

Deleted the removed tests.
