When the I/O thread was stopped while copying a long transaction, and restarted,

Rotate_log_event::exec_event() believed that the relay log was corrupted. Fixed it
by moving the test for corruption to Start_log_event::exec_event(). 
Changed Rotate_log_event::exec_event() to not increment positions when the
event is seen in the middle of a transaction.
I did a separate commit in 4.1 (so this should not be merged to 4.0) because
code is a bit different in 4.1.
A test to see if the slave detects when the master died while writing a 
transaction to the binlog (uses a forged truncated binlog I made).

-  NOTES
-    As a transaction NEVER spans on 2 or more binlogs:
-    if we have an active transaction at this point, the master died while
-    writing the transaction to the binary log, i.e. while flushing the binlog
-    cache to the binlog. As the write was started, the transaction had been
-    committed on the master, so we lack of information to replay this
-    transaction on the slave; all we can do is stop with error.
-    If we didn't detect it, then positions would start to become garbage (as we
-    are incrementing rli->relay_log_pos whereas we are in a transaction: the new
-    rli->relay_log_pos will be
-    relay_log_pos of the BEGIN + size of the Rotate event = garbage.
-
-    Since MySQL 4.0.14, the master ALWAYS sends a Rotate event when it starts
-    sending the next binlog, so we are sure to receive a Rotate event just
-    after the end of the "dead master"'s binlog; so this exec_event() is the
-    right place to catch the problem. If we would wait until
-    Start_log_event::exec_event() it would be too late, rli->relay_log_pos would
-    already be garbage.
