MWL#192: Non-blocking client API for libmysqlclient.

All client functions that can block on I/O have alternate _start() and
_cont() versions that do not block but return control back to the
application, which can then issue I/O wait in its own fashion and later
call back into the library to continue the operation.

Works behind the scenes by spawning a co-routine/fiber to run the
blocking operation and suspend it while waiting for I/O. This
co-routine/fiber use is invisible to applications.

For i368/x86_64 on GCC, uses very fast assembler co-routine support. On
Windows uses native Win32 Fibers. Falls back to POSIX ucontext on other
platforms. Assembler routines for more platforms are relatively easy to
add by extending mysys/my_context.c, eg. similar to the Lua lcoco
library.

For testing, mysqltest and mysql_client_test are extended with the
option --non-blocking-api. This causes the programs to use the
non-blocking API for database access. mysql-test-run.pl has a similar
option --non-blocking-api that uses this, as well as additional
testcases.

An example program tests/async_queries.c is included that uses the new
non-blocking API with libevent to show how, in a single-threaded
program, to issue many queries in parallel against a database.
