LOAD DATA INFILE now uses database character set instead of server character set. This is not excellent but at least allows to load for example cyrillic data into cyrillic database if server charset is latin1. In the future we should add a syntax to specify file charset or evern charset of each field.

  use of new argument
sql_analyse.h:
  macros from mysql_priv.h. Should be deleted soon.
mysql_priv.h:
  _default_charset_info has been removed
item_cmpfunc.h:
  Use cmp_charset
hostname.cc, hash_filo.h:
  Move charset to constructor argument

SET COLLATION latin1
SET COLLATION 'latin1'
SET COLLATION DEFAULT

Added Centroid(), Area() tests for MultiPolygon objects.

binary and primary collations in the future

SET NAMES <charset name> [COLLATE <collation name>]

  Remove the unused code (from previous commit)

Added new client tests (EXPLAIN + DECIMAL conv)

  Change mode to -rwxrwxr-x

  is now synonim for
SELECT expr COLLATE <expr_charset>_bin

into the only one sortcmp() with additional
CHARSET_INFO *cmp_charset argument.

running slave, just give a warning. Same thing for STOP SLAVE.
This will make scripts writing easier for users.

like number-to-string-convertion-result, now 
takes current database character set, instead of
thread character set. This makes it easy to be
SQL99 conformant and 4.0 compatible.

Item->thd_charset() is renamed to Item->default_charset()
as old name doesn't describe its nature anymore.
