- don't allocate space for rowid buffer when we don't really need it.
- fix buffer iterator

Incorrect limitation on number of parameters removed.

mysql-test/r/subselect_cache.result:
  Test suite added.
mysql-test/t/subselect_cache.test:
  Test suite added.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Iterator changed.
sql/sql_expression_cache.cc:
  Incorrect limitation removed.
  Removing NULL references from subquery parameter list added.

Removed indirect reference in equalities for cache index lookup.

We should use a direct reference because some optimization of the
query may optimize out a condition predicate and if the outer reference
is the only element of the condition predicate the indirect reference
becomes NULL.

We can resolve correctly the indirect reference in
Expression_cache_tmptable::make_equalities because it is called before
optimization of the cached subquery.

Backport into MariaDB-5.2 the following:
WL#2771 "Block Nested Loop Join and Batched Key Access Join"

- Let DS-MRR/CPK take advantage of materialized keys, when possible

- Lots of TODO comments
- add mrr_sort_keys flag to @@optimizer_switch
- [from Igor] SQL layer part passes HA_MRR_MATERIALIZED_KEYS flag
- Don't call rnd_pos() many times in a row if sorted rowid buffer
  has the same rowid value for multiple consequive (rowid, range_id) pairs.

was not cleaned up between PS re-executions. The reason was two-fold:
- a merge with mysql-6.0 missed select_union::cleanup() that should
  have cleaned up the temp table, and
- the subclass of select_union used by materialization didn't call
  the base class cleanup() method.

- Merge with current 5.3

- Let "mysqld  --help --verbose" list all optimizer options
- Make it possible to add new @@optimizer_switch flags w/o causing .result 
  changes all over the testsuite:
  = Remove "select @@optimizer_switch" from tests that do not need all switches
  = Move @@optimizer_switch-specific tests to t/optimizer_switch.test

Updated configure.in to have version 5.3

configure.in:
  Updated to version 5.3.0

Improved speed of thr_alarm from O(N) to O(1). thr_alarm is used to handle timeouts and kill of connections.
Fixed compiler warnings.
queues.h and queues.c are now based on the UNIREG code and thus made BSD.
Fix code to use new queue() interface. This mostly affects how you access elements in the queue.
If USE_NET_CLEAR is not set, don't clear connection from unexpected characters. This should give a speed up when doing a lot of fast queries.
Fixed some code in ma_ft_boolean_search.c that had not made it from myisam/ft_boolean_search.c


include/queues.h:
  Use UNIREG code base (BSD)
  Changed init_queue() to take all initialization arguments.
  New interface to access elements in queue
include/thr_alarm.h:
  Changed to use time_t instead of ulong (portability)
  Added index_in_queue, to be able to remove random element from queue in O(1)
mysys/queues.c:
  Use UNIREG code base (BSD)
  init_queue() and reinit_queue() now takes more initialization arguments. (No need for init_queue_ex() anymore)
  Now one can tell queue_insert() to store in the element a pointer to where element is in queue. This allows one to remove elements from queue in O(1) instead of O(N)
mysys/thr_alarm.c:
  Use new option in queue() to allow fast removal of elements.
  Do less inside LOCK_alarm mutex.
  This should give a major speed up of thr_alarm usage when there is many threads
sql/create_options.cc:
  Fixed wrong printf
sql/event_queue.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
sql/filesort.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
sql/ha_partition.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
sql/ha_partition.h:
  Fixed compiler warning
sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
  Fixed compiler warning
sql/item_subselect.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
  Removed not used variable
sql/net_serv.cc:
  If USE_NET_CLEAR is not set, don't clear connection from unexpected characters.
  This should give a speed up when doing a lot of fast queries at the disadvantage that if there is a bug in the client protocol the connection will be dropped instead of being unnoticed.
sql/opt_range.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
  Fixed compiler warnings
sql/uniques.cc:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/maria/ma_ft_boolean_search.c:
  Copy code from myisam/ft_boolean_search.c
  Use new queue interface()

  Use new queue interface()
storage/maria/ma_sort.c:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/maria/maria_pack.c:
  Use new queue interface()
  Use queue_fix() instead of own loop to fix queue.
storage/myisam/ft_boolean_search.c:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/myisam/ft_nlq_search.c:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/myisam/mi_test_all.sh:
  Remove temporary file from last run
storage/myisam/myisampack.c:
  Use new queue interface()
  Use queue_fix() instead of own loop to fix queue.
storage/myisam/sort.c:
  Use new queue interface()

  Use new queue interface()
storage/myisammrg/myrg_rnext.c:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/myisammrg/myrg_rnext_same.c:
  Use new queue interface()
storage/myisammrg/myrg_rprev.c:
  Use new queue interface()

range plans with identical costs.

subquery execution, where the the REF buffer format was mistaken to
be in record format instead of key format. The error was that the null
byte for all fields of the record was in the front of the buffer,

- Item_in_subselect::init_left_expr_cache() should not try to 
  guess whether the left expression is accessed "over the grouping operation"
  (i.e. the subselect is evaluated after the grouping while the left_expr is
   an Item_ref that wraps an expression from before the grouping). Instead, 
  let new_Cached_item not to try accessing item->real_item() when creating 
  left expr cache.

join cache module.
Without these calls SELECTs over tables with virtual columns
that used join cache could return wrong results. This could
be seen with the test case added into vcol_misc.test 

  field->pack_length() bytes.

5.3 had 

 handler::index_only_read_time(uint keynr, double records)

while 5.2 got:

 handler::keyread_read_time(uint index, uint ranges, ha_rows rows)

which causes floor()'ing of rows parameter, which makes all further costs different.

- fix a bug in LooseScan strategy execution code (exposed by changing costs/QEP)
- Do set join_tab->sorted=TRUE for JOIN_TABs that use LooseScan (partitioning 
   handler cares about "sorted" parameter of h->index_init() call)

- Remove back key_parts from multi_range_read_init() parameters
- Related code simplification/cleanup

- Fix the code to work with IndexConditionPushdown+BKA (EXPLAIN is still 
  incorrect, see comments in the patch)
- Test coverage for ICP+BKA

- Add testcases
- Code cleanup: garbage removal, better comments, make members private where possible

- Add testcases
