(from revision konstantin@mysql.com-20080627154042-923m6lzk7z77lrgj ). This moves the slow part
(10 seconds over 13) into a separate big test.

2. Mark ndb, rpl_ndb test suites experimental.

removed instances of __NT__ from code. We now only build "NT" binaries

Cleanup pthread_self(), pthread_create(), pthread_join() implementation on Windows.
Prior implementation is was unnecessarily complicated and even differs in embedded
and non-embedded case.
      
Improvements in this patch:
* pthread_t is now the unique thread ID, instead of HANDLE returned by beginthread
      
This simplifies pthread_self() to be just straight GetCurrentThreadId().
prior it was much  art involved in passing the beginthread() handle from the caller
to the TLS structure in the child thread ( did not work for the main thread of
course)
      
* remove MySQL specific my_thread_init()/my_thread_end() from pthread_create.
No automagic is done on Unix on pthread_create(). Having the same on Windows will 
improve portability and avoid extra #ifdef's
      
* remove redefinition of getpid() - it was defined as GetCurrentThreadId()

CMakeLists.txt files cleanup
- remove SAFEMALLOC and SAFE_MUTEX definitions that were 
present in *each* CMakeLists.txt. Instead, put them into top level 
CMakeLists.txt, but disable on Windows, because
a) SAFEMALLOC does not add any functionality that is not already
present in Debug C runtime ( and 2 safe malloc one on top of the other 
only unnecessarily slows down the server) 
      
b)SAFE_MUTEX does not work on Windows  and have been
explicitely  disabled on Windows with #undef previously.  Fortunately,
ntdll does  pretty good  job identifying l problems with 
CRITICAL_SECTIONs.
DebugBreak()s on using uninited critical section, unlocking unowned 
critical section)
      
-Also, remove occationally used -D_DEBUG (added by compiler 
anyway)
