a8a757c6bb wl#173 - temporal types with sub-second resolution
and collateral changes.

* introduce my_hrtime_t, my_timediff_t, and conversion macros
* inroduce TIME_RESULT, but it can only be returned from Item::cmp_type(),
  never from Item::result_type()
* pack_time/unpack_time function for "packed" representation of
  MYSQL_TIME in a longlong that can be compared
* ADDTIME()/SUBTIME()/+- INTERVAL now work with TIME values
* numbers aren't quoted in EXPLAIN EXTENDED
* new column I_S.COLUMNS.DATETIME_PRECISION
* date/time values are compares to anything as date/time, not as strings or numbers.
* old timestamp(X) is no longer supported
* MYSQL_TIME to string conversion functions take precision as an argument
* unified the warnings from Field_timestamp/datetime/time/date/newdate store methods
* Field_timestamp_hires, Field_datetime_hires, Field_time_hires
* Field_temporal
* Lazy_string class to pass a value (string, number, time) polymorphically down the stack
* make_truncated_value_warning and Field::set_datetime_warning use Lazy_string as an argument, removed char*/int/double variants
* removed Field::can_be_compared_as_longlong(). Use Field::cmp_type() == INT_RESULT instead
* introduced Item::cmp_result() instead of Item::is_datetime() and Item::result_as_longlong()
* in many cases date/time types are treated like other types, not as special cases
* greatly simplified Arg_comparator (regarding date/time/year code)
* SEC_TO_TIME is real function, not integer.
* microsecond precision in NOW, CURTIME, etc
* Item_temporal. All items derived from it only provide get_date, but no val* methods
* replication of NOW(6)
* Protocol::store(time) now takes the precision as an argument
* @@TIMESTAMP is a double

sql/item_row.h:
  overwrite the default cmp_type() for Item_row,
  as no MYSQL_TYPE_xxx value corresponds to ROW_RESULT
sql/item_timefunc.cc:
  rewrite make_datetime to support precision argument
  SEC_TO_TIME is real function, not integer.
  many functions that returned temporal values had duplicate code in val_* methods,
  some of them did not have get_date() which resulted in unnecessary date->str->date conversions. 
  Now they all are derived from Item_temporal_func and *only* provide get_date, not val* methods.
  many fixes to set decimals (datetime precision) correctly.

e6c45f5e1f - Reduced memory requirements for mysqltest to 1/4.th This also gave a speedup for 5x for some tests.
- Reduced memory usage from safe_mutex.
- Fixed problem with failing tests that could not restart mysqld becasue the port was reserved
- More DBUG information
- Fixed bug where bitmap_set_prefix() wrote over buffer area.
- Initialize n_pages_flushed in xtradb which was used uninitialized.

client/mysqltest.cc:
  Reduced memory usage (400K -> 80 for simple test;  400M -> 70M for some other tests)
  - Smaller dynamic arrays at start
  - Made 'st_connection' significantly smaller by allocation 'mysql' on demand in mysql_init() and storing require_file in a mem_root.
  - Fixed that when one does --debug we get information from safemalloc in the trace
  (Most of changes are changing &connect->mysql to connect->mysql
libmysql/libmysql.c:
  Don't call mysql_thread_end() if my_init() was called outside of mysql_server_init()
  This is needed to get information from my_end() into the DBUG log
mysql-test/README:
  Fixed wrong comment
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Reserv 20 ports / mysql-test-run thread.
  (Needed as some tests uses 9 mysqld servers)
mysys/hash.c:
  More DBUG information
mysys/my_bitmap.c:
  Fixed bug where bitmap_set_prefix() wrote over buffer area.
mysys/safemalloc.c:
  More DBUG information

- Fixed wrong assert in Aria

Now need to merge with latest xtradb before pushing 

sql/ha_partition.cc:
  Ensure that m_ordered_rec_buffer is not freed before close.
sql/mysqld.cc:
  Changed to use opt_stack_trace instead of opt_pstack.
  Removed references to pstack

8ede0759c3 Remove configuration preprocessor symbols 'THREAD'
and 'THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT'.
  
As of MySQL 5.5, we no longer support non-threaded
builds.   This patch removes all references to the
obsolete THREAD and THREAD_SAFE_CLIENT preprocessor
symbols.  These were used to distinguish between
threaded and non-threaded builds.

  Initialize variable to work around a false positive warning.
include/m_string.h:
  Bug#57994: Compiler flag change build error : my_redel.c
  
  The expansion of stpcpy (in glibc) causes warnings if the
  return value of strmov is not being used. Since stpcpy is
  a GNU extension and the expansion ends up using a built-in
  provided by GCC, use the compiler provided built-in directly
  when possible.
include/my_compiler.h:
  Define a dummy MY_GNUC_PREREQ when not compiling with GCC.
libmysql/libmysql.c:
  Bug#58057: 5.1 libmysql/libmysql.c unused variable/compile failure
  
  Variable might not be used in some cases. So, tag it as unused.
mysys/mf_keycache.c:
  Bug#57992: Compiler flag change build error on FreeBsd : mf_keycache.c
  
  Use UNINIT_VAR to work around a false positive warning.
mysys/my_getncpus.c:
  Bug#57995: Compiler flag change build error on OSX 10.4: my_getncpus.c
  
  Declare variable in the same block where it is used.

  Use UNINIT_VAR to work around a false positive warning.
storage/myisammrg/myrg_open.c:

d2d4fdb23f Fixed bug #47485 - mysql_store_result returns a not NULL result set
for a prepared statement.

include/mysql.h:
  enumerator MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT was added
  into mysql_status enum.
include/mysql.h.pp:
  enumerator MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT was added
  into mysql_status enum.
libmysql/libmysql.c:
  Introduce a separate mysql state to distinguish the situation
  when we have a binary result set pending on the server from the
  situation when the result set is in text protocol.
  execute() modified: if mysql->status == MYSQL_STATUS_GET_RESULT
  before return then set it to value MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT.
  stmt_read_row_unbuffered() and mysql_stmt_store_result()
  were modified: added checking for mysql->status against
  MYSQL_STATUS_STATEMENT_GET_RESULT value instead of MYSQL_STATUS_GET_RESULT.
tests/mysql_client_test.c:

f56dd32bf7 Bug#34043: Server loops excessively in _checkchunk() when safemalloc is enabled
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.

Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.

Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost. 

The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.

Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.

client/mysqldump.c:
  Pass my_free directly as its signature is compatible with the
  callback type -- which wasn't the case for free_table_ent.
