Backport from mysql-5.5 to mysql-5.1 of:
Bug19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS
The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.
Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.

The test result differs on windows, since
it writes out 'localhost:<port>' instead of
only 'localhost', since it uses tcp/ip instead
of unix sockets on windows.
Fixed by replacing that column.
Also requires --big-test from some long running tests
and added a weekly run of all test requiring --big-test.
