sync_array_print_long_waits(): Return the longest waiting thread ID
and the longest waited-for lock. Only if those remain unchanged
between calls in srv_error_monitor_thread(), increment
fatal_cnt. Otherwise, reset fatal_cnt.
Background: There is a built-in watchdog in InnoDB whose purpose is to
kill the server when some thread is stuck waiting for a mutex or
rw-lock. Before this fix, the logic was flawed.
The function sync_array_print_long_waits() returns TRUE if it finds a
lock wait that exceeds 10 minutes (srv_fatal_semaphore_wait_threshold).
The function srv_error_monitor_thread() will kill the server if this
happens 10 times in a row (fatal_cnt reaches 10), checked every 30
seconds. This is wrong, because this situation does not mean that the
server is hung. If the server is very busy for a little over 15
minutes, it will be killed.
Consider this example. Thread T1 is waiting for mutex M. Some time
later, threads T2..Tn start waiting for the same mutex M. If T1 keeps
waiting for 600 seconds, fatal_cnt will be incremented to 1. So far,
so good. Now, if M is granted to T1, the server was obviously not
stuck. But, T2..Tn keeps waiting, and their wait time will be longer
than 600 seconds. If 5 minutes later, some Tn has still been waiting
for more than 10 minutes for the mutex M, the server can be killed,
even though it is not stuck.

branches/zip: Free all resources at shutdown. Set pointers to NULL, so
that Valgrind will not complain about freed data structures that are
reachable via pointers. This addresses Bug #45992 and Bug #46656.
This patch is mostly based on changes copied from branches/embedded-1.0,
mainly c5432, c3439, c3134, c2994, c2978, but also some other code was
copied. Some added cleanup code is specific to MySQL/InnoDB.
