- Re-commit Monty's merge, partially fixed by Igor and SergeyP, 
  but still broken

The reason for this was that some bitmap test functions changed the bitmap, which caused problems when the same bitmap was used by multiple threads.


include/my_bitmap.h:
  Changed order of elements to get better alignment.
mysys/my_bitmap.c:
  Change bitmap test functions to not modify the bitmap.
  Fixed compiler errors in test_bitmap

Updated results for failing test cases (In all cases the estimated number of rows was different)

Fixed failing pbxt test


include/maria.h:
  Added maria_upgrade()
mysql-test/suite/pbxt/r/select.result:
  Don't print number of rows as this is not constant over different runs
mysql-test/suite/pbxt/t/select.test:
  Don't print number of rows as this is not constant over different runs
storage/maria/ha_maria.cc:
  Run maria_upgrade() before maria_init()
storage/maria/ma_init.c:
  Move maria_upgrade() out of maria_init() as in standalone programs maria_data_root is not set.

Fix cleanup to really remove 'aria_log' files. Fixes failures in maria unit tests on some platforms.
Fixed compiler warnings

include/mysql/plugin.h:
  Changed def_val back to const, to remove compiler warnings.
storage/maria/ma_init.c:
  Rename control file and log files from maria_xxx to aria_xxx when upgrading from MariaDB 5.1
storage/maria/unittest/ma_maria_log_cleanup.c:
  Fix cleanup to really remove 'aria_log' files. Fixes failures in maria unit tests on some platforms.

The condition over the outer tables now are extracted from
the on condition of any outer join. This condition is
saved in a special field of the JOIN_TAB structure for
the first inner table of the outer join. The condition
is checked before the first inner table is accessed. If 
it turns out to be false the table is not accessed at all
and a null complemented row is generated immediately.

the setting of optimizer switch for table elimination.
