With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.

Non-transactional updates that take place inside a transaction present problems
for logging because they are visible to other clients before the transaction
is committed, and they are not rolled back even if the transaction is rolled
back. It is not always possible to log correctly in statement format when both
transactional and non-transactional tables are used in the same transaction.
In the current patch, we ensure that such scenario is completely safe under the
ROW and MIXED modes.
Problem: mysqlbinlog does not free memory if an error happens.
Fix: binlog-processing functions do not call exit() anymore. Instead, they
print an error and return an error code. Error codes are propagated all
the way back to main, and all allocated memory is freed on the way.
